Sunday, 11 October 2009
Glen Truswell and Olly Turner sailing a Hyde Sailspowered Merlin Rocket continued their winning form with victory at the Salcombe Silver Tiller event.
Some 37 Merlin Rockets entered the event, which saw breezy conditions for Saturday's racing, followed by light winds on Sunday. Glen Truswell and Olly Turner started as they meant to go on, with a win in the first race, followed home by Matt Biggs and Rob Kennaugh in 'Two Pints of Lager'.Richard Adams and Ben Hollis in 'Loosed Cannon' were third. In race two, Truswell and Turner were relegated to third behind Tom Stewart/Liam Dempsey and Andy David/Elie Bremer. However, a win in race three was enough to give Truswell and Turner overall victory, finishing three points ahead of Biggs and Kennaugh who won the final race.
Truswell commented: "We remained competitive throughout though, sailed pretty well and had the necessary element of good fortune required to prevail at such an event!"
