Congratulations to Duncan and Lorna Glen, winners of the West Country Boat Repairs SW Ugly Tour 2024
What a year it has been! 5 successful events, 61 competing boats
The West Country Boat Repairs RS200 south west ‘Ugly’ tour has come to a conclusion for another year, and what a year it has been! With 5 successful events, 61 competing boats (plus a good number more if we had managed to get racing at Parkstone!), it was another fab season for the tour. The essence of the SW tour is great racing (wherever you are in the fleet) at some very lovely venues, and the friendly welcome from fellow competitors. With prizes for the first ten overall, plus the top in silver and bronze fleets, there is plenty of incentive to make it to enough events to count towards the series.
With the loss of the Parkstone open (some sailors are still haunted by that freezing, windless day in July), the series was decided by the results from three of the remaining five events. Duncan and Lorna Glen took home the SW tour title in style with a perfect score line, followed by James Williams and Ruth/Christophe/John, and John Teague and Naomi Pound rounding out the podium. Second to sixth places were within 8 points of each other, with a number of final tour positions being decided on the final day of racing at Chew. Prizes for first silver and bronze boat went to the popular pairings of Kyle Brown/Madeleine Strugnell and Martyn Stubbs/Yvonne Smith respectively.
