Race Day Reports Solar Electric I.C.

Budmouth Technology College from Weymouth lived up to the promise of their performance in the first Schools Marine Challenge by winning Schools Marine II as the sun beat down on a beautiful day at Roadford Lake in Devon.

Strong performances in both the Solar and Electric Sections meant that they had too many points for their main rivals, the rookies from Oakmead. West Exe finished in third on the back of their IC Challenge victory; if only they could dominate one of the other categories the overall title would surely be theirs for the taking.

All in all it was a great day by the Lake at Roadford. The weather got better as the day went on and the enthusiasm of all involved showed what a great event the Schools Marine Challenge is.
