Twenty Cadets entered South Cerney’s Open Meeting. Five races were scheduled over two days with a discard kicking in with the fifth race. Eleven visitors from Exe, Frensham Pond, Royal Lymington and Royal Torbay joined nine local crews with final placings counting towards both the Southern Traveller Series and the Ian Craig Trophy.
Three races were completed on Saturday in a shifty breeze which weakened into the afternoon. Race 1 saw Frensham Pond boats finish first and third, split by sailors from Exe. Caroline Croft & Jacob Payne in 7274 Wave Rider took the honours from James & Chris Turl sailing 7627 Vanguard with Matthew & Ben Shorrock third in 8252 Master Mariner.
Two further races followed lunch with victory going to South Cerney boats. Martha Haslam & Katie Ainsworth sailing 8291 Aslan led the fleet home in Race 2 from Frensham Pond sailors Michael Horne & Ben Crane in 9013 Purple Ronnie with Matthew & Ben notching up another third place. Race 3 was won by Rhos Hawes & Lewis Lane in 6977 Izzy Fast. Second place went to James & Henry Marsh from Royal Lymington in 9240 Nitro with Caroline & Jacob third.
Crews awoke on Sunday morning to still airs. Fortunately a breeze filled in by the scheduled start at 10am and steadily strengthened throughout the morning. Overnight leaders Caroline Croft & Jacob Payne consolidated their lead winning Race 4 by a good margin from James & Chris Turl with James & Henry Marsh third. With the trophy secure, Caroline & Jacob went on to take Race 5 from James & Henry with local team Amir Jannaty & Will McMahon third in 9319.
Counting three firsts and a third, Caroline & Jacob were worthy winners by six points from James & Henry, with Rhos & Lewis a further six points behind on 18.
