Around 20 club members took up the challenge to experience this new 19 foot boat which is taking the racing world by storm, and no-one was disappointed. The winds were fairly strong with huge gusts at times so everyone had an exciting ride.

Lyons Brothers Sail to Victory at Brass Monkey 2014
20 January 2014 (161 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.
