Venue: James Hamilton Heritage Park, East Kilbride
Date: 10 June 2007

Sunshine, dry, 75 degrees and a pleasant light breeze, can this really be East Kilbride in June?
The first round in the Scottish T15 Series was hosted by East Kilbride Eagles at the James Hamilton Heritage Park and the spectators got to watch some very exciting racing as they sunbathed.
The 32 competitors were arranged into 3 fleets of 3.5 to 5.5, and 6.8, with the fleets running in back to back races.
With 3 consecutive wins the 3.5 Class was won by Loch Insh Monster David Taylor, but the real class battle was for 2nd place, between Monster Rhys Cornfield, and Clyde Barracuda Holly McPhail and was decided in the last race with just 1 place separating them.
East Kilbride’s Kirsty Meek was the clear winner in the 4.5 class with Loch Insh’s James Tailor in second and Barracuda Calum Kerr taking 3rd place and first Techno.
There was nothing to separate Monsters Chloe Robinson and Derek Hoogerbrugge in the 5.5 class with Chloe taking the points on discards. 3rd place went to Barracuda Katie Beattie who produced some of the best “from behind” finishes of the day.
The first 6.8 race started a little shakily for Barracuda Jordan O’Hara who was “rescuing a 3.5 sailor” when the start flag was raised and battled back through the field to pip team mate
Danielle Elliot on the line. From then on it was straight wins for Jordan with Danielle in 2nd and Monster Alicia Hardgreaves in 3rd.
First round of the Scottish T15 went to the Loch Insh Monsters, with Clyde Barracudas in 2nd and East Kilbride Eagles in 3rd.
Many thanks go to the RYA’s Robin Nicol, Race Officer Ian Jackson, and Andy Kerr and Kate Bird on Results.
The next round is on 30th June at Castle Semple Loch, Lochwinnoch. Don’t forget your sun cream and your rain jacket as well, just in case.

ADOPT-A-BEACH
The Green Blue is an environmental awareness initiative by the British Marine Federation and the Royal Yachting Association. One of its aims is to educate and promote the sustainable use of coastal and inland waters by watersports participants.
Some of the initiatives have a relevance to windsurfers - especially in achieving cleaner seas and beaches.
Adopt-a-Beach is definitely relevant to T15ers, which is a Marine Conservation Society project supported by the Green Blue.
