BURGHFIELD SPRINTS & NATIONAL 12 OPEN

Published 17:41 on 23 Mar 2025

A great day for the 1st Burghfield Sprints of the year, which also incorporated the National 12 Open meeting, consisting of short races, lots of starting practice and if you had a bad result you only had to wait 15 minutes. We also tested an automated results gathering app that allowed us to present prizes at the end of the day.

The National 12 fleet got 8 races in and the Club Fleet managed to get 7 races in.

In the club racing the format and the varying wind strength meant that lots of different people gained top three results during the day, these included Chris Robinson (Comet), David Shafto (Blaze), Kevin Druce (Aero 7), Peter Barlow (Blaze) and Paul Taylor (Lightning).

The final Club results were:

1st Clive Goodwin - Aero 9

2nd Jason Pyke - OK

3rd Richard Goss - Solo

1st Youths - Anna Goodwin and Tamsin Rowntree

A massive thanks to the Race Team lead by Deryck Lovegrove and the Rescue Officers, do NOT miss out on the next sprint event later in the year.
