After Saturday s racing was cancelled due to some unseasonal weather, Sunday presented the perfect opportunity for a fleet of eight race hungry boats to make up for lost time.
The Walker Trophy is a unique event at Itchenor, focusing on super short, super cup racing with a race target time of 15 mins. It is an event that pushes teams hard and always creates some excitement, this Sunday was no exception.
Race 1: With a glamour 10 to 12 knots and flat water we couldn t have asked for much better. The fleet got off the line cleanly into a drag race for the lesser tide at the edge of the channel. At the end of lap one it was Martin & Ian followed by Archie & Harvey battling for the win. In the end Martin & Ian held on to the lead until the end but Glen & Ed managed to overtake Archie & Harvey up the final beat to clinch second.
