Congratulations to Maria Stanley and Rob Henderson, RS200 National Champions 2018!

Friday dawned a little darker, a little colder and a lot windier than the conditions the 116 boat fleet had got themselves used to. Nonetheless, smiles were borne and the fleet gamely launched an hour earlier than usual (another sound decision from team Saxton based on a deteriorating forecast).

Scores were tight throughout the fleet so there was to be no let up, least of all for the Championship where Edd Whitehead and Emma Clarke were waiting to pounce, just 1 point off Maria Stanley and Rob Henderson. The gauntlet was thrown in Race 1 with an impressive bullet, but a 2nd from Maria and Rob kept them at bay... for the moment…

Amongst the beaming smiles, burning legs and visible centreboards, Josh Flack and Paris Thomas carried their strong wind form from Thursday afternoon over to finish 3rd followed by Oliver Groves and Esther Parkhurst, showing remarkable skill later in the week.

The stage was set for the grand finale. With the points tight, in fact tied, Maria and Rob’s safest option was to try and put a big score on Edd and Emma to utilise a better existing discard. This was not to prove straightforward as the talent on board 1626 kept putting them back into strong positions. At the end of the race, a mercurial final downwind leg from Edd and Emma kept spectators on tenterhooks, however it was not quite enough. Maria and Rob crossed the line later on and the photos say the rest.

Oliver and Esther showed the fleet a clean pair of heels to take the final bullet, a fine end to their regatta. Tom Ballantine and Maddy Anderson brought their form from the circuit to the fore to grab a 2nd while Josh Dawson and Aaron Chadwick ensured their banishment from the Silver fleet with a 3rd.

From Pete Vincent, Chairman of the RS Class Association

So to end it all consider some remarkable facts. Maria became not only the first Lady helm to win the RS200 Nationals but the first Lady Helm to win any UK RS Nationals in any of the adult classes in the 25 year history of RS.

In the UK the weather never wants to play ball with a week long Nationals. PRO for the RS200 Nationals Pete Saxton and his team, with great planning, skill and pragmatic common sense achieved the remarkable with all races completed on the day they were programmed. Pete Saxton was also PRO for the whole RS Games, a 3 week long joyous celebration of what makes sailing in the UK so unique and brilliant. Only a combination of the RS Class Association’s, RS sailing and the team at WPNSA would have dared tried to run such an event let alone pull it off in such style.

Huge thanks to all of them, the hundreds of volunteers and to our valued sponsors – we couldn’t have done it without you!
