A little intro to a Supernova legend

This Bolton Sailing Club legend needs little introduction on the Supernova Traveller circuit. Tony Critchley has been a member of Bolton Sailing Club since he was 11 years old sailing with his Dad in his home built GP14 before regularly crewing in a Cadet Dinghy with a teenager from Bolton called Peter Kay. (No, not that one!!) It was a strong competitive fleet and that experience served as a great apprenticeship for Tony who went on to sail his own GP14 in the 80’s. It was in the early naughties when Tony switched to a Supernova and bought 525 from Mark Giles and says he hasn’t looked back. He was then persuaded by Richard Hartley to try the new epoxy boat. "We need an epoxy in the North so I'll do you a special deal" said Richard. Anyway, along came 1074 followed by 1246 and now in his latest and probably last new boat, 1351.

Tony takes any opportunity to promote the traveller events at the club and reflects on the wide social network and friends he has made over the years and says, “It's great to still be reasonably competitive and sailing in a strong local fleet even at the ripe old age of 67.” At the 2018 Nationals he was given the bittersweet accolade of, 'The quick old guy at the front'. Tony went on to win our club championship in 2020 and then winning the Bolton Open in 2023. He continues to take regular line honours in our very competitive fleet.

If you fancy your chances against Tony, come and join us at our open. Bolton Sailing Club is a stunning location to sail, with 40 hectares of water set in the hills 4 miles to the northwest of the town. Added to this is one of the largest Supernova fleets in the country guaranteeing good competition at all levels.
