Cambridge Blue and Black were successful at the BUSA Qualifiers 2019, held at Grafham Water 2/3 February 2019. They go through to the BUSA Finals 2019, to be held on 9-11 April at Spinnaker SC. Cambridge Purple get a second chance to qualify in the Playoffs at Derwent Reservoir on 2-3 March.
The BUSA Qualifiers 2019, organised by Warwick University at Grafham Water, were a complete success. Windy and cold conditions on the Saturday resulted in some breakages and quite a few spills. Conditions were ideal on the Sunday with sunshine and a gentle breeze. With three flights in use, each of the 18 teams completed at least 14 races over the weekend.
