Gary & Ali - my sponsors. Second 6.8 at the Zone Squad Championships

It has been a long time since I last posted anything on my blog as I have been busy training and competing.

In April I went to Weymouth to the Zone Squad Easter Training Camp at National Sailing Academy. I had 3 days training with others from all around the country with all the top coaches.

We had the first Team 15 event held at Pugneys near Wakefield in April. I was pleased getting 1st 6.8 as we have a lot of good windsurfers in our zone. Our Team won the event.

Next I went to Pittsford to take part in a 2 day UKWA event and I came 15thout of 36 competitors (6.8 & 7.8).

The next UKWA event was held at Weymouth, I came 22nd out of a fleet of 45 (6.8 & 7.8)

The Zone Squad Championships held at Rutland Sailing Club where I finished 2nd 6.8 just 1 point behind Emma Labourne who came 1st.

The last North/West Zone training weekend took place in May First day we did half a day doing board handling in about 15- 20 knots. Then at dinner time it picked up to about 25 knots and Ian let us all go short boarding. Probably because he had some bran new RRD and EZZY kit to use, so we had a great day short boarding. On Sunday we were on techno again. It was a really good last Zone Squad for the year.

The next UKWA event was held at Bridlington, this was a 3 day event. I was pleased with my place of 12th overall out of 29 competitors and 6th 6.8

In June I took part in UKWA event at Whitwell which was a national squad indicator event. I came 4th 6.8 and 13th overall out of 53 competitors. I think this was my best result this season. I missed out on 3rd place by one point.
