The Island Barn Reservoir Sailing Club RS200 SEAS Open took place on Saturday 17 October, with 22 boats competing.
Given the social distancing and forecast for the wind to drop later in the day all the helms and crews agreed to skip the lunch break and run 4 back to back races.
Consistancy was the keynote with overall victory going to Ian and Chris Martin of Oxford SC, counting a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for 6 points.
Chris Catt and Roz McGrane from Netley SC took overall second place with a two 2nd places and a third for 7 points.
And David Jessop and Sophie Mear of Hayling Island SC completed the virtual podium with two wins and a 7th for 9 points.
The day ended much as it had started with a Covid secure packing up and an outdoor prize-giving.
Race Officer Mike Jones and Commodore Nick Marley thanked everyone for following the clubs social distancing rules, tight racing on the water and for the work of all the volunteers to make such a great day.
