In what seems like a repeat of last year’s Bank Holiday Monday, the third day of Burnham Week 2025 greeted competitors with champagne sailing conditions, while the town quay was buzzing with activity, with pirates of all ages prowling the streets.
On the Burnham Sailing Club start line, the dinghies were joined by the Phantoms for the last day of the Bank Holiday Weekend.
After a fierce battle, the ILCA/Laser fleet was won by James Hutton-Penman, ILCA 6/Laser Radial, who beat Duncan De Boltz, ILCA 7/Laser, Duncan aiming for revenge in the John Torrance Trophy to be contested on Wednesday evening.
The Fast Handicap fleet was categorically won by BSC sailors Alice Davis and Jemma Cook, RS200, ahead of Richard Smith and John Barnes’s Albacore, while Noah Mathers and Rory Luddington won the Slow Handicap Fleet, after a stint with fast dinghies, with Arthur Bullen winning the young sailor of the weekend.
In the Osprey fleet, Roger and Jamie Blake, representing the Great Moor Sailing Club, won first place, with Robert Shaw and Ian Little, Kielder Water SC/RCYC the runners up.
