Rooster 2000 National Championship at Castle Cove Sailing Club - Day 4

13-19 August 2016
After the traditional mid-week lay day, the 2000 Class returned to the waters of Portland Harbour for the 4th day of racing in their Rooster sponsored 2016 National Championships.
On arriving at Castle Cove Sailing Club for a 12.00 start, the mirror-like sheen on the water indicated a long postponement. Sure enough, an hours delay was posted. But what surprised the fleet was that it was only an hour! However, after drifting out to the Committee Boat, a good 8 to 10 knots was blowing from the South East.
The decision of go-left for the expected wind veer, or start at the pin for clearer air away from the hills of Portland Bill, was never quite resolved - as the first start was general recalled. The second start was also general recalled. And the postponement was raised instead of the 5 minute warning for the third start, as the wind had clocked right by 90 degrees to the South West. In general, that is where it stayed for the rest of the day, but it took 2 hours of waiting on the water before the wind settled in both strength and direction enough to attempt another start - which was also general recalled! But the black flag meant we all got away cleanly after that.
Steve / Sarah Cockerill took the left hand side of the long beat, and arrived at the windward mark in first place, and were chased all race, and eventually over-taken, by Fergus Barnham / Serena De Nahik who came from the committee boat end of the line. The wind of 6 to 8 knots was never quite strong enough for anyone's liking - occasionally the lighter crews could sit out on the beat, but it was difficult to get enough boat speed and clear air, and required lots of holding your nerve down wind.
Where Fergus / Serena had a "poor" day yesterday and Jasper / Laura Barnham had a great day, today it was the other way around! Fergus / Serena chased Mike Wood / Jonathan Hynes around in the second race, while Jasper needed to re-pin a loosely flapping disconnected leeward shroud down one of the runs! This puts the two Barnham boats from Snettisham Beach Sailing Club on equal points as we wait for the strong winds expected on the final day of the week. Darren Roach / Jeremy Stephens from the Navy Sailing Association had an up-and down day, but hold on to 3rd place overall just ahead of Mike / Jonathan from the RAF who were the clear winners of the second race today.
