- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The 2009 Access Dinghy National Championships The event was run over Friday 10th, Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th of July Read below Chris Westons report: ACCESS CLASS NATIONALS AT NORTHAMPTON Sailors with a wide range of disabilities took part in the 2009 Access Class National Championships at Northampton SC on 11/12 July. 37 competitors enjoyed competitive racing in four fleets organised by a large team of expert volunteer helpers and safety crews from Northampton Sailability. There was no wind on Saturday morning so the Class Association took the opportunity of holding its AGM earlier than planned. In the afternoon two races were held but most sailors found the light conditions frustrating and the gloomy sky did little to lift their spirits. However an enjoyable Championship Dinner in the evening was attended by over 50 people. On Sunday warm sunshine and a brisk SW F2/3 wind enabled the full programme of six races to be completed. Safety boats were kept busy baling out a number of near swampings but everyone enjoyed competitive racing at this splendid venue in the heart of the East Midlands. The most successful club was Frensham Pond Sailability with one National Champion and two runners up. A training day on the Friday attracted 25 sailors and was led RYA Sailability Racing Coach Matt Grier assisted by former RYA Sailability coach George Barker.
