Sailing Chandlery RS200 Northern Tour, Yorkshire Dales, 12 Apr
Exceptional racing from Chris and Evie Pickles, from Bassenthwaite Sailing Club, saw them take the win of the Sailing Chandlery RS200 Northern Tour Open 2025. Despite the light and shifty conditions, the pair were consistently one step ahead of the fleet throughout the day, which led to a convincing overall victory.
Rounding off the rest of the podium were Martin and Barbara Smith in 2nd and James and Tom Johnson in 3rd. The racing between these boats was much closer and the tactical battle between the duos provided good entertainment for those watching.
Although the weather was unpredictable, the race committee did a very good job at setting great courses and getting through all the races as planned. A massive thank you to Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club and all those involved who once again provided a fantastic Northern event.
Next stop on the Sailing Chandlery Northern Tour is the Spring Champs at Ullswater's Daffodil Regatta, 26/27 April, also on the Rooster Championship Tour.
