With all the events now run, the scores are in for the Lairwell and Border trophies and it’s pleasing to note that we’ve had a very healthy 14 boats sail in the series, with 5 of those qualifying. A total of 7 clubs were represented by those who competed and the boats ranged from Angus and Rohan's China Doll through to the double bottomed Chapters and Big Issues. We have no defined rules for splitting discards in the series and have therefore opted to show Team Brookes and Team Simpson as equal second - if we were to use 'who won when they last raced against each other' the split would be in favour of Team Brookes (1st place at Annandale v Mark's 2nd place).

Final Positions:

1st Bernard Clark & various crews, N3447, Final Chapter

2nd= John and Georgie/James Brookes, N3162, Baggy

Mark and Emma Simpson, N3472, Big Issue

4th Howard Chadwick and Helen Nicolson, N3489 , Big Issue

5th Angus and Rohan Beyts, N2717, China Doll
