TridentUK Cadet Nationals at Royal Torbay Yacht Club - Day 1

by David Elliott 14 Aug 2012 07:38 BST 12-17 August 2012

Nick Sutton & Joshua Bennett lead the TridentUK Cadet Nationals after the first day. Sailing 8844 Nasty Tern, the Corinthian Otters pairing mastered the shifty conditions in Torbay to record a bullet and two seconds. Matthew Currell & Theo Smith from Parkstone in 8997 Executrix are second with 20 points, with Katie Kinver & Martha Jones from Exe/Royal Torbay third in 8511 Cyclone on the same score. Top Silver Fleet team are Ben Shorrock & Beatrice Sexton from Frensham Pond in 8441 It Takes Two and Reece & Lewis Lane from South Cerney head the Bronze Fleet in 9382 Exe-celerator.

Poor visibility and rain delayed the start of Race 1 for two hours. Nick & Josh led at the windward, followed by Frensham Pond pairing Jack Wilson & Jim Brooker in 735 Pintail. Matt & Katy Lloyd from Thorpe Bay in 9029 were third, followed by Fishers Green/King George/Alton Water pairing Alex Corby & Robert Keen in 9000 White Stuff and Hattie Ayre & Cally Terkelsen from Stone in 8420 Tantrum. Jack & Jim led at the second windward and took the gun on a shortened course. Nick & Josh were second, with Matthew & Theo, third.

Race 2 followed almost immediately. Nick & Josh again led at the end of the beat, with Katie & Martha second and Belgian competitors Seppe Greeve & Cedric Boven in 8519 Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, third. Having advanced into third by the end of the next beat, Matt & Theo kept up the pressure on the leading pair before leapfrogging them both to cross the line in first place.

Race 3 started after the course was relaid. Once again Nick & Josh led at the first windward. Matthew Shorrock & Ryan Wilkinson from Frensham Pond in 8352 Master Mariner led mid-race, but perseverance saw Nick & Josh recover their lead to round-off the day in the best possible way. Will Davis & Harry Fitzsimmons from Royal Lymington in 9034 Forty Two took second, with Matt & Ryan third.

A further three races are scheduled for Tuesday.
