F18 UK Nats 2016: Simon Northrop & Josh O’brien Champs
All Images & Results mumblesyachtclub.co.uk –
Simon & Josh have been injured for a while, so not able to train much for several months. Josh had a road bike
crash and broke several ribs but continued their winning streak despite of the lack of sailing.
Simon’s Hyde Sails set are now being adopted by many in the UK and with the background info I have also in the US and continental Europe.
Second place for William Sunnucks & Freddie White, sailing the Windrush Edge / Hyde Sails.
Third place for Tim Neal & Bob Fry.
