The London Traveller Series concluded at Queen Mary SC on Saturday 17th October following a series of 4 events across Sailing Centres for the Outer London circuit and 2 events for the Inner London circuit. The Series is aimed at getting participants from RYA Sailing centres travelling to different locations to experience sailing outside of their home centre and meeting and sailing against likeminded sailors in a friendly environment.
The Outer London series started at Hillingdon Outdoor Activities Centre in April, moving to King George SC, Welsh Harp and finally at Queen Mary. The Inner London circuit has two events, Docklands Watersports and Welsh Harp. Overall we had a 78 sailors participating across the various fleets of Topper, Feva, Laser, Tera and Oppi.
With breezy conditions at Queen Mary there was some close racing making the final results in some of the fleets coming down to the last race.
