Mon 10th - Tues 11th July

International Schools Team Racing Championship

Canford put in a respectable performance, finishing tenth overall.

Thu 8th June

Four schools regatta at Portland

1.Sherborne
2.Milton Abbey
3.Canford
4.Bryanston

With this race falling in the middle of the heaviest week of external exam all schools had weakened teams. This did not stop the racing from being very competitive and quality races took place in perfect, steady force 2-3 winds and sunny skies.

Thu 11th May

Sailing v Sherborne

Lost 2-0
In sunny conditions and light winds the team sailed technically soundly to produce a good display of team racing. Unfortunately this was not enough to beat a very competent Sherborne team.


Sat 6th May

Midland Team Racing Championships (Farmoor)

Very light winds for the whole event, and a shifting direction, meant lots of delays and frequent course changes. Constant rain also dampened spirits somewhat.
Canford's A team won all races in their 5 team league and their semi final, but lost in the single race final (reduced from normal 2 race final due to time constraints). We were disappointed not to win the whole event, but overall an encouraging performance.

Thur 27th April

Sailing v Winchester College

This was the first match of the season against a strong visiting team. Both the A team and the B team lost in light winds but it was valuable experience in preparation of the BSDRA Midland Championships. In the A team, Ed Steele in particular sailed well in both races, while Greg Miller was caught out tactically a couple of times and suffered penalties in race two, and Jess Milligan did well to make up for her two rather nervous starts.
