The final day of the Rolly's Brownies National Championship greeted the now swollen fleet of 69 Moths, as a few more mothies joined in for the weekend racing. But first thing Sunday there was a huge bank of sea mist over Portland harbour and a few were sceptical that once again the moth nationals could be cut short. The race officer headed out to the race course and after a brief delay the mist started to clear and the fleet was called out to the Race course.

Race 10

Got away clean again but with a sub foiling breeze many boats got stuck low riding down the race track. The key thing was to avoid the large hole on the course; something that Peter Barton revels in. This meant that by the windward mark and by Peter banking hard left he had a 200 metre lead on the fleet, but it's hard work these day to stay in front and by the end of the race Chris Rashley came good to take the win, but the question was how had Rob Greenhalgh faired? He had escaped any issues on the course and took 2nd followed by Mike Lennon 3rd and Ben Paton was 4th.

Race 11

By race 11 the breeze had built a bit and a good start was now the key, by this time there were many battles going on across the fleet as you could see everyone was trying to catch the person in front of them. Once again the race got away clean, Rob Greenhalgh was not going to drag the event championship any longer and took the win with Chris Rashley 2nd and Mike Lennon 3rd, Simon Hiscocks came 4th. Rob had done enough by this point and headed for the showers.

Race 12

The breeze was now back up to 12 knots and the sun had once again come out to say good bye to the moth fleet, by this time there were some tired legs out there but this did not stop the 63 finishers of the final race. The win was taken by Simon Hiscocks followed by Chris Rashley 2nd and Mike Lennon 3rd, Paul Goodison 4th. The fleet then headed ashore most with big smiles on their faces.

To sum things up this was the biggest Moth Nationals in the UK and Castle Cove Sailing Club did it justice with a fantastic race team and very competent rescue crew in some testing conditions. Even the weather played ball with mixed wind conditions across the 12 races but every day the sun came out. This venue will now be named as Weyibiza, we would like to thank all the sponsors for their support – Azure Logo Embroidery, Shock Sailing, Blueteq, Palmers Brewery and the Acqua Beach Hotel.

But special thanks goes to Helen Rollinson of Rolly's Brownies for all her hard work and sponsoring the event.

The fleet now look forward to Hayling Island open on July 27th and 28th the venue of the 2014 Nationals and world championship, they know they will have their work cut out to top this event.
