De May & Thames Series Results
The De May Series for 2021 got off to a great start in April at Fishers Green, and the Thames Series started shortly afterwards with a very well-attended event at Ranelagh. Over the course of 8 events in the Thames Series, with an additional 3 to make 11 in the De May, there was a wide variety of venues – reservoirs, lakes and the river, and a range of weather conditions from no wind at all (leading to the abandonment of one day at Upper Thames), to a boat-breaking squall at Hampton. Across all the events, 60 boats competed in the De May, and 53 took part in the Thames Series. All the clubs visited were very welcoming and hospitable. Both series were hugely enjoyable, and closely-fought to the end, leading to the results below.
The ‘Most Original Boat’ prize went to 1939 War Horse, owned by Peter Impey from Tamesis SC, and the ‘Most Improved Newcomer’ is Richard Burton of Medley SC, in 2037 Lady Hyperion.
