Topper Open - 21st April 2007

37 junior helms from 13 Clubs attended the annual Nantwich Topper Open which is an event for the North West Area Travellers Series.

All 3 races race got away well with tidy starts, the wind increase from a force 2 to 3 during the day but the direction remained constant and so there was no change of course.

World Champion Andrew Brown from Budworth won the event with wins in the first 2 races though he did not have it all his own way as, following a capsize, he was beaten to second place in the last race by Jack Hopkins of Delph.

The other places were contested by Jack Hopkins (Delph), Elliot Hanson (Redesmere), Joe Cheetham (Budworth) and Sam Watson (Natwich). Harriet Morris (Elton) found form in the last race, she lead for the first 3 laps only to be overhauled by Hopkins and Brown at the finish.

It was an excellent well organised day with good management by the race officer Rob Richards. The fleet showed sportsmanlike observance of the rules and had an enjoyable day. Nantwich looks forward to welcoming them all next year.
