Monday 11th September
Archie Massey and George Nurton extend their lead on the
pack in the first round of the World Championships, raced
off Long Beach
They crossed the finishing line to numbing silence having
been judged OCS in the minute before the start.
George's sister Katie can be seen astern with the all-grey
spinnaker, holding a solid 3rd place.
Promoted to second place by brother George's OCS disqualification,
Katie Nurton is hard on the heels of eventual race winner
Howie Hamlin.
Next behind is another ex I14 World Champion, Kris Bundy,
also setting Batt sails. Kris wound up third and his Seattle
training buddy Kris Henderson, also running Batt Sails,
was 6th.
On the water Batt Sails finished 1,3, 4, 7
Friday 15th September.
Posting a fine pair of consecutive race wins Archie Massey
and George Nurton have bounced back up the leader board after
their first race disappointment was followed by a couple of
average races. Kris Bundy is currently fourth overall, Archie
Massey sixth and Katie Nurtoin is eighth. Katie lost a race
with an ankle injury but includes a second, fourth and third
in her score. All-in-all Batt sails are having a great regatta.
