Congratulations to Ben Whaley and Lorna Glen, winners of the RS200 Rooster Championship Tour 2023!
- 5 Championship events
- 148 boats
- 300 sailors
- 75 clubs
With those statistics, consistency was definitely key for the new Rooster RS200 Championship Tour, comprising the Spring, Summer, Southern, Northern and Inland Championships as well as the National Championship.
Ben Whaley, sailing with Bella Fellows, set the scene at Bristol Corinthian in the Spring Championships, finishing a very close 2nd to Parkstone YC club mate Edd Whitehead and local BCYC sailor, super-crew Anna Horackova.
Back with his regular crew Lorna Glen, 3rd places followed at the Itchenor Southern Champs and East Lothian Nationals, before they completed the series in style with a well-deserved win at the Grafham Inlands.
Brendan Lynch and Ellen Clark (Anna McBestie at the Northerns) from East Lothian YC were 2nd overall, giving Ben and Lorna a really good run for their money, counting a 5th, 4th and 1st place going into the Inlands leading to a very tense finale, where a win could have given them the tour title!
