The fifth round of the Wee Nip Medal Challenge took place at Abington Park on 21st May 2016. The lake was full, which was a bonus as the silt build up over the years is reducing the already shallow lake even more. The day was grey with shifty winds all day. Reading the shifts early was the key to success.
We had eleven skippers turn up at the event, one notable happening was that Keith Bell had a failed rudder servo on his own boat and then borrowed a spare from Paul Risdale and proceeded to have another rudder servo failure. Jon Simmons was the eventual winner followed not too closely by Peter Jackson and Paul Risdale.
