The Lightning 386 UK Nationals enjoyed an absolutely fantastic weekend of sailing and socialising - class sailing just doesn’t get better than this.
Saturday saw us starting three races with a good to strong breeze and the fleet powered around three excellent courses, expertly set of the race officer. At the end of sailing, John Claridge was just ahead, with the rest of the fleet hard on his heels.
Sunday proved to be bright and sunny with just a bit less wind, providing more stunning sailing conditions. The two races provided some really outstanding sailing, with the whole fleet in close pursuit of the leader. Louis Saunders taking the event from John Claridge on the very last beat of the event.
