RS Games - RS100 Nationals at Weymouth - Day 1
by Paul Childs 17 Aug 2011 10:37 BST
16-19 August 2011
With 25 knots on the way to the start, the RS100s blasted down to their start with a few swims.
Race 1 was port biased with a clean get-away. Paul Childs tacked early and headed right to take first, followed by Neal Freeman and Huw Powell. Childs had a few swims, knocking him to 3rd. Down the last run it was Ian Turnbull, Freeman, Powell and Childs all very tight. Turnbull capsized as did Childs, leaving Freeman to win.
In race 2, Childs messed up a port flyer, but after a tough beat Jon Holroyd led from Childs and Sam Vaughan. Childs managed to take the lead down the run and hold to the finish. Vaughan finished 2nd, followed by Powell.
