For the first time in ULO history, a Tanzanian national has taken the coveted Uganda Laser Open Trophy. The 19 year old Vedastus Alphonce put in an excellent series of races, staying with his radial sail on the water ahead of many standard sails. He ended up with 15 points out of 7 races (2 discards), just one point clear of Daniel Francis from Kenya, who like last year, got the second place. The third place was for Hamisi Muhidin, another Tanzanian youth of 17 years, who got the maximum out of his 4.7 sail, but lost out in the two light wind races. 

First lady was, again, Annabel Bowerman, and first VNSC handicap winner was Irene Carlos.
