Mike Cooke sailing the first of the 2010 Ninjas took first in the Foiler fleet at the Steve Nicholson race with two race wins. Runner up was Alex Adams sailing a Mistress 3 fitted with Ninja foils.
Cookie had a battle on his hands in the first race with a snakes and ladders style race with lots of holes and plenty of opportunity to mess it up, just taking the win from Alex. The second race was in a bit more breeze allowing Ninja Tuna to show her stuff, taking the win by over half a lap and causing the race committee some confusion in the process!
Katherine Knight took to the skies over the weekend in her new Floppy. The foiling Oppy was dreamt up by Adam a good few years back and it’s great to see the project come to life!
Powered by Aardvark foils! While Adam missed the fully airborne shot (followed by an abrupt crash I would imagine with that blunt bow!) she shows plenty of potential. I’m sure there will be more to come!
First picture of the new 2010 Ninja in action down in Torquay – she promises to be a beauty!
The Moth Nationals took place last week and saw a new National champion crowned! Cookie, sailing the prototype Ninja took three race wins and the overall trophy after a hard fought battle with Rod Harris in his Prowler Zero and Mike Lennon in his Mach two.
