Morsley & Wallis are Tiger Junior Champions

The pursuit race gave a further boost to the fortunes of Toby Morsley & Matt Wallis, finishing overall 4th in the 2012 John Merricks Tiger Trophy at Rutland Water SC today - and they retained the Junior Trophy with the 420 Class! They were sandwiched between two former 420 sailors of distinction, Matt Burge former National Champion and 2011 World Fireball Champion in a GP14 and Peter Grey, recent 420 Sailor Rep, in a Scorpion. Craig Dibb & Charlie Cox were 9th and Tarra Gill-Taylor & Megan Brickwood were 14th, ahead of several former 420 stars and previous winners of the Tiger, including Ben McGrane in an International 14 and Stu Bithell in a Merlin.

A great turnout and a very creditable performance by the 420 Class – back ‘in forcel’ in John Merricks’ wake again: Matt Foskett & Chris Taylor, Caroline Croft & Henriette Brand, Tim & Ed Riley, Sarah & Catherine Alton, , Will Kennedy & Alex Curtis, Morgan Dibb & Gemma Bird, Ben Hazeldine & Rhos Hawes, Ben Hazeldine & Rhos Hawes, Annabel Cattermole & Bryony Bennett-Lloyd, Lucy Yates & Ellie Devereux and John Page & Max Ingall.
