SS 2018, Regatta 4: Chelmsford

24/9/2018

0 Comments

 
The Chelmsford Regatta, postponed from due to the snow back in March, finally went ahead in September. But the organisers again found themselves watching the weather forecasts intently, with fierce storms predicted. In the end the event was able to go ahead, but in low temperatures and persistent heavy raid rain. This did not stop 46 determined paddlers from turning out for the event.
Due to heavy weed growth the races had to be moved to a distance from the clubhouse, adding to the difficulties faced by the marshals and spectators. By the time the K1 races were completed the younger competitors were beginning to feel the cold and it was decided to wind the event up early and let everyone get off home.
The class winners on the day were:
u10 Girls - Libby Gaulton (BSF)
u10 Boys - Cally Da Silva (HYM)
u12 Girls - Sienna Payne (CLM)
u12 Boys - Rupert Tideswell (CAM)
u14 Girls - Imogen Hunter (CAM)
u14 Boys - Sebastian Tideswell (CAM)
u16 Girls - Imogen Hill (CLM)
u16 Boys - Ben Clayton-Harris (LEE)
u18 Boys - Finn O'Brien (LEA)
u23 Men - Lochlan Chamberlin (CLM)
Sen Ladies - Catherine Sanderson (LBZ)
Sen Men - Sean Woodley (CLM)
The medals will be presented at the Chelmsford Hasler, together with the awards for the summer series as a whole.
The full results for the Chelmsford Regatta and the series can be found on the Summer Series results page.
The winners of the classes across the whole of the FRA Summer Series were:
u10 Girls - Libby Gaulton (BSF)
u10 Boys - Henry Fry (LEA)
u12 Girls - Nichole Pirmuhamedov (CLM)
u12 Boys - Jack Rayment (LBZ)
u14 Girls - Franchesca Williamson (CLM)

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.
Picture

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)
