Richard Powell wins the Canford Cup.

The Canford Cup for the overall prize has been awarded to Richard Powell sailing the SB20 Marvel in VPRS1.

Skipper Richard Powell said after the prize giving: “Great fun and a great regatta. We weren’t quite sure what to expect as we thought there might be a Sportsboat class, but the Poole Regatta team were great about it, put us in VPRS and gave us a free certificate and got us a berth at Parkstone Yacht Club allowing the whole thing to come together. I grew up in Poole and learnt to sail Lasers here, so to come back here and especially to win something is amazing as I never won anything in dinghies! Sailing with Johnny Greenland and Nick Hornby who are both from Poole has been a bit of a trip down memory lane for me and really enjoyable.”
