Musto Skiff Scottish Travellers Trophy Series 2005

The first ever Musto Skiff Scottish Travellers Trophy series came to an end at Royal Tay Yacht Club, without the series leader Richard Stenhouse from Rutland. That left the way clear for second placed Ian Renilson from Dalgety Bay to win the event with a clean sweep of first places. That put Ian & Richard on equal points in the series, and with tie-breaks split by best discards it was Ian Renilson that came out ahead. Martin Goodlad from Peterhead finished third, and Kit Stenhouse from Rutland was 4th.

This inaugural series was very well attended by 22 boats from as far away as Peterhead to the North and Whitstable to the South. The Musto Skiff class has grown strongly in Scotland this year, and several more sailors are planning to join the class next year.

Martin Goodlad has shown the biggest improvement this year, and beat Ian Renilson in extreme conditions to win the event at Aberdeen & Stonehaven. He could have done well at Royal Tay too - if only he could have kept upright!

We all look forward to the 2006 season, when the events will again be mostly shared with those for Scottish Skiff Racing, and we expect the racing will be even closer.
