Doug Struth and Geoff Carveth’s DSP is the 2018 J/70 UK Grand Slam Champion scoring the best result in both the Corinthian and Open Divisions for the season.
The total score for the nine-regatta championship was calculated by the best five results, including the J/70 UK Nationals which was non-discardable.
DSP scored the best net points from any team in both the Corinthian and Open Divisions by the finest of margins.
Clive Bush’s Darcey was the top team in the Open Division, just a single point behind DSP.
Ian Wilson and Marshall King’s Soak Racing was the runner up in the Corinthian Division, also just one point behind DSP.
Martin Dent’s Jelvis made the podium for the Open Class, and Fiona Hampshire’s Elizabeth was third in the Corinthian Class.
