About the Lightning Series |
|
Tuesday, 29 December 2009 13:37 |
|
A Lightning is a stable, single, racing kayak for juniors aged from 8 to 12 years. It is an excellent boat in which children can develop basic paddling and racing skills before moving into full sized racing boats. It is used in competitions at both sprint regattas and at marathon races.
The Lightning Series is generally run alongside the Hasler Series and races are held at most of the regional Hasler races. Races are over distances of approximately 2 miles and are organised on an age basis in four separate classes - for boys and girls under 10 and boys and girls under 12 years. The Series is an ideal way to introduce children to racing.
Points are awarded to each competitor and the Geoff Sanders Memorial Trophy is awarded at the Hasler Final race each September to the club that has gained the most points based on regional races plus the race held at the Hasler Final. The current Geoff Sanders Trophy standings are available to view here.
The race organisers of races listed in the calendar will give you more details of their own races.
Juniors can also compete in Lightnings at the Marathon National Championships held each year. There are separate races for the four age groups mentioned above in which the competitors must race in a Lightning. Points are awarded to each competitor and the club that scores the most points is awarded the Spanish Galleon Trophy.
