Noble Marine RS200 National Championships at Exe Sailing Club - Day 3

by Pete Vincent 22 Aug 2012 12:26 BST 19-23 August 2012

It was a major day on Tuesday at the Noble Marine RS200 Nationals at Exe SC for three important reasons:

• The weather played ball allowing three races to be run putting the championship back on schedule in excellent conditions.

• Ben Saxton/Toby Lewis sailed the most impressive day you could imagine winning all three races by a margin.

• The 2ndhanddinghies.com sponsored social and fancy dress party was a messy affair with the club running out of gin and rum – WOT!!!

The wind went round to the South west but some black clouds gave PRO Phil Morrison a hard time with a couple of aborted gate starts but racing started in 8-10 knots. By the start of the last race it was up in the 14/16 knot area and by the last round downwind was truly lush. The winning margin Saxton/Lewis had in the final race was something to behold.

Behind it was a mixed day for the early contenders; Hamish Walker/Emma Hivey had a shocking first race but recovered with a 2nd and 5th to remain in second overall. Jonny McGovern/Sarah Williams scored 2.7.3 to move up to third overall. Matt Mee/Emma Norris slipped with 6th and 9th and then the disaster of a broken gooseneck.

Jayne Johnson/Jamie Baker had a star day to win the silver division on the day but is behind Exe SC Ben Cornish/Charlotte Coleman overall in the silver division. Chris Bowers/Ian Mairs were the star turn in the Bronze but a little way behind John-Paul Marks/Emma Anderson overall.

Mention must be made of silver division Paul Lewis/Rosie Brearley who were the first boat out of the gate in the final race and led round the first mark. Meanwhile Exe SC mark layers were having a fine day wrapping ropes round props and destroying engines to be popular winners of Duckhams at the 2ndhanddinghies fancy dress party fuelled by the boom of doom. It is a slow day this morning!
