Close racing from a small fleet lead to some drama at Scotland Farm on at the end of April with one race declared a dead heat between Mark Dicks and Mike Partington. At the end of the day it appeared that John Tushingham and Mark Dicks were tied on points and inseparable on a count back. However after a very gentlemanly review of Rule A7 by John, Mark was awarded an extra half point for the tied race and Mark got the win, and the maximum score for the overall Travellers Series rankings, by the smallest or margins.

After 4 events and going in to the Nationals in June, the current standings in the competition for the 2017 Class Champion are:

1	John Tushingham	51	Keighley	261
2	Mark Dicks	6	Clapham	242
3	Phil Holliday	66	Datchet Water	228
4	Wayne Stobbs	58	Portsmouth	189
5	Mike Parkington	697	Fleetwood	152
6	Liz Tushingham		Keighley	124
7	Noel Donaldson	29	Watermead	124

We have had 28 sailors across the 4 events but John Tushingham's consistent results have given him a lead over Mark Dicks and Phil Holliday . Missing the Keighley events has dropped Noel Donaldson back a few spots but with discards starting to count after the Nationals, expect to see this improve.
