May Tankard Series
The May Tankard Series concluded on Thursday, 26 May with Mark Taylor again taking three wins in Skeldro.
Taking account of a DNS and a RTD for Skeldro, both Skeldro and Malcolm Tipler's Go Quickly Red ended up on 22 points for the series, however, the series win goes to Skeldro on countback - six wins to Go Quickly Red's three wins - with Go Quickly Red second and Double Dutch third.
Points Series (May to August inclusive)
The May Tankard Series, the Summer Series and the Commodore's Cup Series race points all carry forward to the May to August Points Series. DNS results for the Points Series are based on total boats in the Points Series (ie from the individual May, June, July and August series results) plus one point so DNS points gathered in the individual series may be changed for the purposes of the Points Series. Under the Points Series, sailors can also discard their four worst race results over the Points Series. This means that discards used one week for calculating the accumulative results may not be used as the series progresses and more race results come through.
The Points Series ended with the final races of the Commodore's Cup on Thursday, 25 August and the winner was Skeldro (Mark Taylor & Lewis Burgon) with 82 points. Go Quickly Red (Malcolm Tipler & Doody Robertson) came second with 191 points and Double Dutch (Kenny Holland & Sarah Murray or other crew) came third with 248 points.
