- Jeremy Davey and Martin Huett are 2021 Flying Fifteen Inland Champions
Davey and Huett from Draycote Water SC took a one point victory at Chew Valley Lake SC after four races were completed over the weekend of the 9 and 10 October.
The forecast had looked light all week and proved to be remarkably accurate and racing could only take place on one day, the Sunday.
Sunday morning started with the lake still rather calm, but by the 10:30 start time the weather had improved to classic inland conditions, 8-10 knots with plenty of shifts and pleasantly warm sunshine for mid-October.
Bill Chard and Josh Preater of the host club took the first race ahead of Charles and Charlie Apthorp, with Richard Hope and Mike Stenson in third place.
Race 2 was a win for Justin Waples and Jackie McKellar took first, followed by Davey and Huett recovering from a 13th in the first race, and then Chard and Preater.
Race 3 saw another race winner, this was Ian Pinnell and Ian Cadwallader who rounded the windward mark first and went on to take a convincing win. Richard Lovering and Matt Alvarado were second, followed by Greg and Elliot Wells.
With everything depending on the final race and allowing a discard, it was Davey and Huett who rounded first, and although Lovering and Alvarado took over the lead on the final run, second was enough for Davey and Huett to secure the title by one point.
Lovering and Alvarado’s final race win moved them into second place overall tied on nine points with Chard and Preater.
