Report - Bough Beech 2015 Eastern Series
10 Phantom helms rigged in bright sunshine with two races before lunch in 15 knots of steady breeze to look forward to. Matt House took line honours in both with Chris Roberts banking 2 seconds.
Following a proper Phantom lunch the fleet set off in what seemed a slightly fresher breeze. Matt took this in his stride and banked another couple of bullets in part due to his blistering downwind speed and sound tactics to ensure victory overall.
A brace of third places secured second overall for Chris Roberts.
Close racing was the order of the day throughout the fleet and hero to zero status was easily achieved ! Indeed, 3rd (Marcus Ingram), 4th (Ian Miller) & 5th (Steve Popple) each had 12 points with count back required to finalise places for this trio L
Once again the super Bough Beech SC produced punctual, well organised racing for us – many thanks from us all.
