The Scorpion of Tom Gillard and Rach Gray was the winner of the Fernhust Books Draycote Dash over last weekend.
The sixth event of the 2024/25 Selden SailJuice Winter Series was reduced to one race by light winds and poor visibility.
The rescheduled Fernhurst Books Draycote Dash saw 98 entries racing in three fleets.
Handicap Winners were:
- Fast – Tom Gillard and Rach Gray, Scorpion, Sheffield Vikings SC
- Medium – Simon Hawkes, K1, Castle Cove SC
- Slow – Megan Pascoe, 2.4 mR, Frensham Pond SC
The original plan for this season had been for Gillard and Gray to prioritise the 470, which tends to prefer the breezier stuff. But their toe-in-the-water of the Olympic class, has had to be put on hold.
Next up in the Sailjuice Winter Series 2024/25 is the Bloody Mary, at Queen Mary SC, 11 Jan 2025 .
