Special Prize Awarded at 2010 Radio A Nationals

The race team at this years event decided to award a special prize to the competitor competing in the most heats. A better title could be "The VFM Award" (Value for money)

During the weekend there were various candidates for this, with a number of skippers getting more than there fair share of the action, but the final winner by quite a large margin was Chris Durant.

Christopher was unhappy when told to come off the water for his dinner.


There were very few times that Chris couldn't be seen or heard on the water being on the water for 26 of the 54 heats over the 3 days.

He was the rightful recipient of the prize, kindly donated by Ken Binks of Kbits of a new set of batteries!

The downside is that Chris will probably be charged double to enter next year!

Pictures of the event

John and Alex Smith took well over 1000 images of the weekend, we are going through the process of removing the odd bad one and will give you details of how to view them and obtain a copy of any that you may want to keep.

If anyone else has any pictures that they wish to share please send me details and I will post the details on here.e: sailing@ashbyroadeast.demon.co.uk
