For the second year in a row Hudson's Soling One Meter fleet wins the annual Kingston / Hudson Challenge Regatta.
Held at HYC this year, Kingston's four man team Raced against our team of four which were chosen on the basis of best scores of HYC's finest nine.
Saturday evening, almost all competitors participated in the Carribean event and everyone had a great time and were all ready to go Sunday morning.
Saturday racing (July 19) was abandoned due to the heave storms and squalls in our area.
Sunday(July 20) racing started about 10:30 and ended at 2:30 with nine races completed with very challenging winds from all directions.
Kingston's total score ended with 194 points against our Hudson team score of 136. (Low points scoring system)
Our individual team members scores were;
Ed Cowell 20 points.
Roy Folland 29 points.
George Roberton. 37 points.
Ken Walker. 50 points.
TOTAL 137 points
Next year the Kingston / Hudson Challenge will be held at Kingston Yacht Club.
