Regatta final results

Published 16:58 on 28 Sep 2025

On Sunday 21st September the final three races of the regatta series were held. This brings to a close the 16 races regatta (7 to count), with some lively racing alongside day 2 of the Miracle Welsh Regional Championships. This certainly kept the race officer team busy as they juggled the management of the two fleets.

Full results can be found on the Shotwick Lake website, but it was commodore Jeremy Cooper in his Lightning dinghy who triumphed overall, followed by Chris Draper (Topper) and Matthew Bennett (Solo). 

2025 Regatta results after 16 races (7 to count):

1. Jeremy Cooper (Lightning) 13.7pts, 2. Chris Draper (Topper) 22pts, 3. Matthew Bennett (Solo) 26pts

Top double hander was Simon and Julie Dolman in 4th place, only one place ahead of their regular rivals Dave Thomas and Shan Stapely! That battle will continue on into the winter months!

28 boats took part at some point during the series. Which makes the current push for race officials a bit surprising. Due to the scoring system there is no disadvantage in taking on a race officer or safety boat role. All members are encouraged to check the rota and volunteer. Full support is available for newbies! So please come forward and volunteer.
