HYDE SAILS MERLIN WINS AT STARCROSS
Thursday, 17 September 2009
The Steamer, held at Starcross YC on the River Exe, is one of the classic early season pursuit races, and although entries were down little, this year's event still attracted a strong 54-boat entry. The Hyde Sails Merlin crossed the line more than a leg ahead of the next boat, also a Merlin Rocket, sailed by 2008 Silver Tiller winners Matt Biggs and Rob Kennaugh. Another Merlin, sailed by John Gorridge and Peter Horn, took third place, with the RS800 of Russell Gibbs and Megan Fileman fourth, and the RS400 of Richard Cain and Owen Taylor completing the top five. Glen Trusswell commented:
We have now shed off our winter retirement and are back down to a fighting weight of under 23 stone.
The team plans to compete in the Steve Nicholson and Tiger Trophy events over the next two weekends.
