SS 2017, Regatta 3: Chelmsford

17/9/2017

The final sprint of the 2017 Summer Series took place at Chelmsford. The home team were out in force, with three other clubs represented, and a total of 48 paddlers in all.

The morning was given over to 500m and 200m K1 heats. After the lunch break there were 200m and 3000m K2 races. The forecast rain held off and by prize-giving there was even a little sunshine.

The class winners for the day were:
u10 Girls - Naomi Fuller (CLM)
u10 Boys - Lewis Williams (BSF)
u12 Girls - Eilidh White (BSF)
u12 Boys - Ilirian Bushi (HYM)

PaddleAbility - Francesca Dulake (CLM)

After the medals for the day had been given out, there were more awards for performance across the series (based on best two scores for the three-race series).

The neck-and-neck battle between Leaside's Finn O'Brien and Stortford's Murdo White ended in a overall tie for Gold in under 16 Boys.

The overall winners for 2017 were:
u10 Boys - Lewis Williams (BSF)

SS 2017, Regatta 2: B. Stortford

10/9/2017

Heavy weed growth on both the Chelmer and Lea prevented the two regattas planned for the summer months going ahead as scheduled, making the Stortford event only the second of the series.

The recent change in the weather left many feeling rather chilly, but at least the rain held off and there were plenty of hot drinks and a warming BBQ to be had.

Single races were held over 500m, 200m, and a good proportion of the competitors took part in the 500m and 2000m K2 races.

There was a good turnout from u16 boys, with Finn, Murdo and David G so evenly matched that the class ended up being a three-way tie.

The class winners were:
u10 Girls - Gemma Beazley (BSF)
u10 Boys - Jake Sharp (HYM)
u12 Girls - Eildih White (BSF)
u12 Boys - Ilirian Bushi (HYM)
u14 Boys - Jonathan Pirmuhamedov (CLM)
u16 Girls - Imogen Hill (CLM)
u16 Boys - Finn O'Brien (LEA), Murdo White (BSF) & David Gurney (BSF)
u18 Girls - Lexie White (BSF)
u18 Boys - Lawrence Minter (HYM)
u23 Men - Matt Parkes (BSF)
Sen Ladies - Catherine Robinson (BSF)
Vet Men - Mitch Barclay (BSF)
PaddleAbility - Mikey Landowski (HYM)

Next Sunday Chelmsford will be hosting the third and final regatta of this year's series.
