HistóriaGP14 Southern Areas at Maylandsea Bay: Cheal and Yossi claim the title
Maylandsea Bay SC hosted the GP14 Southern Area Championships on 28–29 May 2022, sailing on Lawling Creek off the River Blackwater. Thirteen boats lined up for five races—two Saturday and three Sunday—to work the bigger tide window, with breeze roughly 4–20 knots and a sharp Sunday squall in the mix [1].After two days of tidal chess, Maurice Cheal and Yossi sealed the title on 7 points, ahead of Steve Cooper/Lucy Barrie (10) and David Innes/John McGuinness (15) [1]. Clean starts and layline judgment into the current proved decisive across the weekend [1].Maylandsea Bay Week remains a favourite stop for club regulars and visitors alike, part of the venue’s busy rhythm that keeps fleets returning to the creek [2].
