Due to the cancellation of the Cowes Weekend, it was agreed there would be a 2nd Calshot race. However due to a couple of members not being able to make it, we decided to try an old race idea never attempted before on the day.
So we had the first Calshot World Cup. A football group style event featuring 5-lap head-to-head racing. Each competitor went against eachother in their class to decide who went through to the final/knockout stage. The finals were then a 10-lap race. The action was very fast paced, kept everyone involved with a lot of tense action on the water. It also gave a different perspective on the racing by allowing multiple opportunities to win and score points.
There were also some intense battles racing to the line. Tourament racing will definately be making an appearance again...
