2002 Trophy, 2021
Following the cancellation of sailing in 2020 due to covid-19 the Sextant Trophy sailed for on the 24th October 2021 was the final round of the 2002 Trophy Series for 2021, but it seems that nobody has been keeping the series scores.
To complicate matters boats without valid certificates were allowed to race in the other two events which is permitted by the Series Rules but they don't get Series points.
It was not completely obvious which boats these were but I think that I have managed deduce it from the reports and other knowledge.
I announced the final results at today's event but having had another look at the evidence have made some more adjustments so once again those announced were a bit in error.
That does not detract from Shaun's achievement of winning all three events so he is a clear winner of the Series.
Not surprisingly he is followed by Mike Ewart and Steve Wheeler who were the only others to compete in all three rounds.

With only Terry and Vinnie taking part in all three rounds the result was hardly likely to let anyone else in with a chance.
The only other possible contender was Mike Ewart who, although entered for the event, was unfortunately incapacitated for the day and unable to attend.
Terry proved to be a clear winner with a 56 point lead over Vinnie.
