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!

SPLASH!!!

We’re going sailing sailing with our Dad
We don’t feel at all sad
Get in the car and fetch the boat
And don’t forget to bring your coat!

We go…
Wave splash
Boom crash
Fall in
Big din
HELP ME!
Deep sea
Fun swim
Climb in

Out in the ocean havin’ a sail

Wind picks up ad we go flying!

Now the waters really flowing

We have…
Wet hair
Don’t care
Soaked socks
Sailing “rocks”
Good mood
Grab food

Out in the ocean havin’ a sail
