Of the 'Runners and Riders', Matt Burge is worth a punt ; Multiple class champion including Fireball Worlds Competed in several Endeavours (best result 3rd), this year has teamed up with Nick Craig's crew Toby Lewis who has won the trophy several times. Tom Gillard will also be one of the favourites, having a very successful 2014 after joining North Sails, winning the Fireball, Scorpion and Streaker Nationals.
The Topper Endeavour Trophy is a unique event in the UK dinghy sailing world. Held on the tidal waters of the rivers Crouch and Roach at the end of every year, it's an invitation only three day event, with the guest-list hand-picked from National Champions of selected recognised fleets. The RYA recognises The Endeavour as the pinnacle of that year's dinghy sailing achievements which will hail a 'Champion of Champions'.
