Steve Wilson, Alan Sign win RS800 National Championships title at Weymouth and Portland
A successful sail throughout the RS800 National Championships brought Steve Wilson and Alan Sign on top of the standings and they claimed the title with eight points overall. The pair
didn’t participate in the races on the final day, as they ensured their dominance on penultimate day of the event at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
The weather conditions on the final day were ideal for a convincing sail. Hugh Shone and Hannah Tattersall sailed impressively on the final day scoring a second and a fourth place to improve
their overall standings in the 60-boat RS800 fleet.
Russell Clark and Penny Clark from Stokes Bay Sailing Club showed excellent sailing skills to score two first positions in the final day’s races, eventually clinching fourth place on the
scoreboard. Despite a third and a ninth place, Royal Lymington Yacht Club’s Peter Barton and Paul Davies occupied third place overall with 41 points behind Ian Martin and Jony Clegg, who scored 29 to hit second spot.
