Lyons Brothers Sail to Victory at Brass Monkey 2014
20 January 2014 (151 reads)

Ullswater Yacht Club sailors Matty and James Lyons sailed their 49er to victory in the re-scheduled Brass Monkey event held at Yorkshire Dales SC on Saturday (18 January). This popular event, which is part of the Winter SailJuice Series had to be re-scheduled because of bad weather between Christmas and New Year. Shifty conditions in winds from Force 2 to 4 made the event challenging for the 80 boats taking part. Matty and James won with a 2nd and a 1st, pushing a Topper and Scorpion into 2nd and 3rd places respectively.

Thanks to Yorkshire Dales SC. Report by Pauline Thompson. For full report/results click Read more.
