Wanderer National Championships at Cotswold SC – 28/29th September
Cotswold Sailing Club occupies one of the lakes in the Cotswold Water Park complex south of Cirencester. We have visited on a number of occasions over the years for our Inlands. This was the first time they had hosted our Nationals.It was with some trepidation that the Wanderer fleet scanned the weather on the week leading up to the event. We were wondering quite how big the lake would have grown with the September rain, and if maybe we would have been able to sail over the road and into South Cerney SC. As it was, the lake was only up by a few inches. There was no rain over the course of the event, and the wind (mostly) played ball. 6 visitors from as far afield as Grafham and Whitstable joined 3 local boats on the Saturday morning for a midday start. The wind was a light north westerly,
