A well supported Trent Tripatite was held un Sunday 18th of April at Trent Valley Sailing Club with 10 boats from TV, 4 from Nottingham and 8 from Attenborough.
Attenborough attendees were Nick Turnbull-Ross, Josie Adams, Mark and Kevin Last, Brian Dennis, Keith Brereton and Kevin Milton. 
Light winds made for tricky sailing
conditions with racing dominated by Trent Valley Comoodore in his Thames A Rater which rather dwarfed all other boats, including our Phantoms and Supernova as seen in the pictures,
and seemed to be able to make use of the higher winds in the jet stream. 
With Attenborough’s light weather sailor, Mike Pritchard, volcanic ash bound in China, Attenborough struggled against the river experts. Nick Turnbull-Ross was
best overall Attenborough boat in 5th place. Trent Valley easily won the plate with club results as follows:
1st Trent Valley 38pts
2nd Nottingham 85pts
3rd Attenborough 118pts
