Shelley sits in pole position for the UK Hyde Sails Series

After 3 rounds of the Hyde Sails Series for the UK 2021 GBR circuit, it’s Jono Shelley who leads the way after his recent wins at Largs and Ullswater – both home events for the local legend! Jamie Hilton and Ben Schooling round out the podium places, with Danny Boatman, Andy Tarboton, Dan Trotter, Neale Jones, and Ed Chapman all enjoying Hyde Sails sponsored Champagne prizes at the eligible events.

As we reach the midway point in the circuit, 50 boats have so far competed with 9 new faces along with some class stalwarts, such as Nigel Walbank. The next event within the Hyde Sails Series will be the UK Nationals at Sunderland YC, where we’re hoping for a record entry!

The six events chosen for the 2021 Hyde Sails Series in the UK were split across the Northern and Southern Circuits to give everyone a chance to take part, and include the following events:

• April 17 – Stokes Bay Open (Stokes Bay Sailing Club)
