Drennan
Trophy, 25th October 2009
During the night and early morning before this final event of the LASC sailing season, the wind was howling like a banshee and the trees were bending before it. In the event, the wind dropped and the race was not at all as exciting as anticipated. The wind strength varied unpredictably and was never above force 4.
Trevor Cragg in his Flying Fifteen led the fleet for most of the time, though it is probable that the Solo leaders were near enough to be ahead on handicap. An unfortunate area of calm allowed many boats to draw much closer. The Drennan is sailed on personal handicap, which this year was derived from the Gartmore and Trossachs series. The corrected result was as follows: 1st Jeff Heath, 2nd Barrie McLean, 3rd Robert Signer.
