Report By James Bennett
On the 3^rd to the 8th of August 2008 the Magic Marine Topper Nationals took place in Paignton, Torquay.  310 boats raced it out over a 6 day intensive racing programme, a three day qualification series followed by a three day championship series.  There were competitors in the main fleet aged from 9 to 52; from John O’Groats all the way to Land’s End and Ireland.

 Budworth sailors: Jonathan Olin finished 12^th, Joe Cheetham 85^th, James Bennett 90^th in the gold fleet, and Rachel Wilcock finished 37^th in bronze fleet.  The overall winner was Elliot Hanson, a National Squad sailor from Redesmere SC, near Macclesfield.  He is the first sailor ever to win all three big regattas, the Worlds, Nationals and Inlands in the same year!
