Results / Fat Face RS Racing Circuit WPNSA - 02/07/2005
Thirty seven crews ventured to the recently opened Weymouth and Portland
sailing academy last weekend for a Fat Face RS Racing Circuit event and
were impressed by the new facilities. Many competitors commented however,
on the disappointing design of the �club house� and felt that an
opportunity to provide a �state of the art� facility had been missed.
Not withstanding this observation, the race management of the event was
excellent, including good start lines and well set windward/leeward
courses. The wind was predominately in the west, backing to south-west on
Sunday afternoon.
An overcast Saturday morning gave way to a bright afternoon, during which
races one to three were dominated by Steve Irish/Martin Gotrel in Magic
Marine, who having rounded the first windward mark just behind Chris
Haworth and Stuart Aston, in a gently increasing 9 knot breeze, took the
lead and never looked back. Haworth/Aston finished second with the
improved form of Spod and Jane Olive in Harken/Sola bringing them through
the fleet, after an indifferent first beat, to finish third. The second
and third races where sailed in 12-15 knots with the first two finishing
positions remaining the same in all three races. Despite few passing
lanes being evident, especially up wind, with the right hand side of the
beat generally �paying� all day, there was close racing for third to 12th
positions with much place changing amongst the Olives, Paddy Gamble/Fiona
Lockwood, Andy Jeffries/Alyson Ody, David & Fiona Sayce and others.
For race four a glorious sunny Sunday dawned, with winds of around 15
knots. The race was again taken by Irish/Gotrel, although it was a close
racing for second to fifth places, with the newly arrived Ben and Jenny
Vines taking second, Haworth relegated to third but with David & Fiona
Sayce, Ben Schooling & Tim Hirst, and Justin Deal all in the �hunt�.
In race five, Irish and Haworth were both OCS, and a close race saw Olive
steal the race from Jeffries on the last run with Andy Cornah and Owin
Murray recording their best result of the weekend to finish third. In
race six the Irish/Gotrel �luck� finally deserted them and they finished
second, allowing Haworth to win with Gamble and Lockwood third, Batchella
& Hayward fourth, and the Olives fifth.
Although Irish and Haworth seemed destined to finish first and second
from the outset, several new teams emerged in the top 15 with very close
racing, many place changes and improved performances and consistency from
several teams boding well for future events.
