On the Saturday afternoon, racing started with an all fleets raft race/swimming in the bright sunshine, followed unexpectedly for some, by sailing 2 races grabbed late afternoon into the twilight, held in light & shifty conditions. Lloyd & Moore, battled places with Mathew & Ben Lulham-Robinson, throughout, but the Nat’ squad pair prevailed, to take the lead overnight.
Sunday, dawned with a still light but steady wind and drizzle. Race 3 was again taken by Lloyd & Moore, who initially had to battle hard to get clear of the Lulham-Robinson boys. Race 4 was taken again by Lloyd & Moore, and as the wind increased to approaching 10 knots followed by the ever improving Nicky Haigh & Will Nickson. In race 5, Lloyd & Moore wrapped it up with another win, followed by the Lulham Robinson pairing, and in third Oliver White & William Hide. The final race was taken by the Lulham-Robinson boys, Lloyd & Moore, letting a perfect scorecard slip with a second, Rory Nicholl & Lily Charlesworth came through to take a third.
The conditions on the Saturday were especially difficult. Newcomers to the Mirror race fleet Jack Wilson & Zara Nickson, and Jack Lawson & Gregory Little battled persistently to complete all the 6 races. - Well done guys.

Escritts win at home. Yorkshire Dales held its Mirror Open meeting on the 6th of September.
Visitors from as far as Brighligsea and Blithfield attended and were greeted by a warm force two to three .
The first race was a close affair with five different leaders but it was the Home club boat of Callum Escritt crewed by Dad Ian who took the bullet from a fast finishing Alex Lloyd and Jack Moore who passed David Moore and Matthew Escritt just before the line.
Race two started in an increasing breeze which suited some of the more experienced crews Alex/Jack took the win David/Matt 2nd and Philip Benn/William Hide 3rd . Callum/Ian took a short dip to cool off much to the amusment of the other competitors.
The event hung on the last race with several potential winners.
The race was very close all the way round and it was Callum/Ian who crossed the line ahead of Alex/Jack who held off the ever improving Matthew and Ben Lulham Robinson.

2nd Alex Lloyd/Jack Moore Blithfield
3rd David Moore/Matthew Escritt Blithfield
