“Legendary Firefly sailor, Team racing star and Musto Performance Skiff owner Steve Tylecote has won the Endeavour Trophy at the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club this weekend. Sailing with Toby Lewis, Steve has, after a number of attempts, won the UK’s most prestigious dinghy racing Trophy.

The Endeavour Trophy is the champion of champion’s regatta awarded annually for the winner of a weekend event made up of invited class National or World Champion’s from the UK. It has been raced for 47 consecutive years, and the first winner was a young Keith Musto representing the Cadet class.

As you can imagine, the racing is very close, and Steve showed excellent consistency to take the title. The event is sailed in supplied Topper Xenon’s and there will be a full report in the main press sources. Nick Craig, a newcomer to the Musto Performance Skiff class, and three times previous winner finished third overall.

Our classes representatives’ Rick Perkins crewed by Simon Reynolds, struggled to gain any consistency, and also had some back luck but managed a credible 17th overall in their first attempt.”
