Our army of sponsored sailors were out in force at the recent Laser National Championships, now rebranded as the ILCA national championships.
In action were:
The sailors sailed across the three different fleets competing in the Standard, Radial and 4.7 fleets.
The standard and 4.7 fleet were competing over the first few days of the event and there were some fantastic results.
Jack Graham-Troll just missed out on another championship win and finished with a solid 2nd place. Alice Davis who is new to the Laser while she can't sail her 420 finished in a respectable 32nd.
In the standard fleet Sam Whaley finished in 3rd place, Ben Flower in 7th and James Foster in 14th. This was James first event in the larger standard rig and was also the 1st under 19.
The radial fleet were up next and due to the size of the fleet they had their own event later in the week. The fleet were also split into Gold and Silver fleets to manage numbers.
Chloe Barr finished in 12th place in the Gold fleet and Lydia Barber finished up 20th in the Silver fleet.
Well done to all of our sailors and customers who took part in the event over a very windy week.
A huge congratulations to the UKLA class association who worked very hard with WPNSA in Weymouth to ensure the event happened in a manageable and safe way.

we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
