The Accenture Nottingham Snakebite was sailed at Burton Sailing club in lovely wind and even a little but of snow. Twenty one teams from as far as Glasgow and Bristol participated to produce an interesting event with a mixture of both experience and accents! With wind ranging between a force 2-4 all weekend over 230 races were completed in 4 different flights of boats including Nottingham?s new pink and blue Accenture fireflies.
A fun filled Friday night kicked off a great weekend of sailing. Saturday saw the first set of leagues completed and the start of the gold, silver and bronze leagues. These were continued on Sunday morning after a suitable amount of snakebite had been drunk.
The Bronze league saw competition among the most originally named teams, like Nottingham Special Kids and N.O.B.S, and was eventually won by the Oxford ?Allstars?.
Cambridge 2 came out on top of the silver league and the Oxbridge success was continued when
Cambridge 1 beat Bristol in the gold league final.
Apart from the rugby score the whole weekend was a great success and we look forward to seeing you all next year.
