GUL RS800 Racing Circuit at Draycote. 6TH 7TH MAY 2000

Consistency was a truly elusive trait in the 20 boat fleet of RS800s at Draycote on May 6/7. Warm weather brought a good force 3-4 from the north east but this breeze was patchy and there real wind bands. The racing produced five different race winners, many different race leaders and some huge scores, making for a great weekends racing. There's always the exception, and this weekend it was Nick Peters and Fiona Sayce from Hayling Island who won 2 races, were never out of the top 4 and took overall honours with a race to spare.

Winners of the first GUL RS800 Circuit event at Torquay, Matt and Geoff Larkin started Sundays racing with a race win and 2 fourths under their belt, and even following a very frustrating 6,6,8 on the Sunday, managed to hang on to 2nd overall. Dave Ellis, in his first meeting in the boat, managed four thirds, and 2 mid fleets for 3rd overall, generally improving during the event.

Other race winners were Nicki Griffin and Mike Braidley, Chris Feibush and Animal Parslow, and Paul Bayliss and Ros Knight. Feibush/Parslow won the final race by a mile from Spod Olive/Martin Brooks to make up for T-boning Rob Larke in spectacular fashion on Saturday. The team of Bayliss and Knight also showed that they will be a real force with an impressive victory in race 5 to make up for an erratic series.

The atmosphere and camaraderie in this newest of fleets is so typical of the RS scene, with many newcomers enjoying the RS Ball on Saturday night, and looking forward to the Eurotour event at Hayling over the Bank Holiday weekend at the end of the month.
