Int Canoe Nationals and Europa Cup 1992
The Clyde Canoe Club hosted the International Canoe Europa Cup on
Loch Lomond from August 8th - 14th. The event was sponsored by
Glengoyne Whisky which ensured that the record numbers were kept in
high spirits. A total of 58 entries with a good contingent of foreign
visitors from |Germany, Sweden and the Cayman Islands enjoyed a
rather mixed week of weather and a very high level of competitive
sailing.
The first race was scheduled for the Sunday, but lack of wind
combined with heavy rain meant that two races were sailed on the
Monday. Mark Goodchild from Medway YC, the defending champion, opened
his account in fine style with two wins. These results also ensured
that he retained the classic Sailing Challenge Trophy. Lee Noble from
Ullswater SC was second in race 1 and David Hullin from Germany was
second in race 2.
The Novices race on Tuesday morning was sailed in the lightest of
airs and was won in convincing style by Lars-Ove Andersson of Sweden
from Chris Masters and Peter MacLaren.
The afternoon race for the Camplain Cup was won by Barthellsson
from Sweden. He beat his compatriot Anders Pettersson and the
steadily improving David Hullin.
After a fine breeze on Wednesday morning the wind died away. The
Eric Freeman Trophy race had to be stopped after the first beat
turned into dead run. After two further attempts to restart the race
was re-scheduled for the next day.
The two races on Thursday were sailed in ideal conditions with a
steady north-westerly force3-4 and were both won by Hullin with
Goodchild finishing second in both.
The final day's racing started in a Force 2-3 following a lengthy
postponement. Pettersson won the race in emphatic style with a final
lead of nearly a beat. Goodchild was second and Noble 3rd. Hullin's
4th place was enough to wrest the Europa Cup by a mere 0.25 points.
The UK Open Championship, the Quincy Cup, was won by Goodchild.
The idyllic setting and the unrivalled hospitality of the host club
and the sponsors meant that all the competitors had an excellent
week.

Editor's Note: The full results, from the Sept 1992 Canoe
Newsletter, appear to have some odd features. Why would one give 59
points for DNC, DNF etc in a series which seems only to have 53
entrants? Also, because I put the results through a modern scoring
program to get the totals, which do not appear on the original, the
odd error from changes in scoring practice (ties and the like) is
possible. The order of competitors shown in the original list, which
is reflected in the places on the table, is not 100% consistent with
my calculated points totals either. Thee inconsistencies only seem to
appear in the lowest quarter of the placings. It is, I suppose, not
completely impossible there were errors in either the original
scoring or the transcription to the newsletter I was working from.
