2024 Blaze Traveller Series

Welcome to the web page for the 2024 Blaze Class Traveler series.

The 2024 Travellers events were:

- 14th April - Carsington Blaze Open

- 4th-5th May - Eastern Championships, Isle of Sheppey SC

- 11th-12th May - Western Championships @ P.O.S.H - Paignton SC

- 8th June - Scottish Championships - Helensburgh SC

- 21st-23rd June - Sea Sure and Hartley Boats National Championships, Pembrokeshire YC

- 12th-13th October - LOMO Blaze Inland Championships, Chase Water SC

​

Three events minimum to qualify, one of which must be Inlands or Nationals.

​
With 22 boats standing to qualify for the Travellers Series at the final Blaze Class event of the season - The Lomo Blaze Inlands (Chase SC) - there was more to play for than just the championship kudos. Five sailors were in with a chance of the series top spot with a good inlands result and they were all present.

The series had ended up resting on the final championship race of the season - the 6th of the Inlands. The final results had required countback to settle the results for both 1st- 2nd, and 3rd -4th, so a very close contest.

The final Travellers Series positions are:

1st – Charlie Matthews
2nd – Christian Smart
3rd – Alan Harris
4th – Doug Clow
5th  - Will Gould

Congratulations to Charlie. And bravo to all those who took the time and effort to trailer-up this year. A twofold increase in Traveller qualifiers from last year is testament to the continuing success of the Class.
