RS700 Nationals at Hunstanton Sailing Club - Days 1 & 2

by RS Class Association 4 Sep 2010 13:22 BST 2-5 September 2010

Day 1 Report:

F3-4, sunshine, the open sea and 34 700's intent on some keen racing. Does it get any better?

After two races, Mike Dencher is leading the gold fleet with Gary 'Ringer' Austin taking the silver. Duckhams award should really go to Stu for carrying a camera round the course but forgetting to switch it on! Fish and Chip supper watching various onboard videos, and Hamish replaying the race via GPS.

Pre-event coaching went well with 10 people making the most of Jon Heissig's words of wisdom.

Great first day enjoyed by all.

Results after Day 2: (5 races, 1 discard)

Noble Marine RS700 Nationals overall
Some of the strongest gusts of the event saved for the final day in Brightlingsea Carrying on the completely non-existent tradition of starting with alliteration, I will sum up this event, as the light left leaning lake-like event... with tide, rivers and barges... so not lake like at all really.

A cold and misty start leads to a three hour delay Day two dawned with a cold and misty start (17 degreesC). A three hour delay was inevitable and meant we were launching at a similar state of tide as yesterday, leading to another long trek down the slipway. Posted on 9 Sep 2023
