Cheshire Schools' Sailing and Canoeing Association Autumn Regatta - 2004

The CSSCA Autumn Regatta was held at Budworth Mere on Saturday 16th October. 40 sailors from schools and youth groups in the area contested for the various trophies. The wind was light all day, eventually fading away totally which meant that we could only hold four races out of the intended six. In spite of the light conditions the competition was keen with different sailors winning individual races.

Bridgewater was well represented, especially in the Gold Fleet for more experienced sailors. Overall, Hannah Wilcock (Y8) came third but she actually won her second race. In the same fleet were Alex Sharp (Y9) and Charlie Faulkner (Y7). Briony Sharp (Y7) won the

Slow Handicap Fleet race and came second in the Novice fleet. A great performance for her first CSSCA regatta.

All the sailors did extremely well in the trying, light conditions. An excellent performance by all.
