*HOBIE 16 BRITISH NATIONALS. What a fantastic result from our two leading RCIYC teams in the event last weekend, the Jersey flag was well and truly flying. Both teams did brilliantly, showcasing the high standard of Island Hobie sailing. They were neck and neck with Luke and Steph’s 3 bullets on the first day and Ollie and Megan responding with 3 wins on the second day, leaving Luke and Steph 2pts in the lead after day 2. Luke and Steph won the title as racing was abandoned due to wind scarcity on day 3. A massive well done to them all. Attached is the JEP report from Oliver plus photos if you missed it.
