Magic Marine Topper Nationals at Weymouth - Days 1 & 2

by Miles Palmer 8 Aug 2006 11:54 BST 6-11 August 2006

The first two days of the Magic Marine Topper Nationals has brought 4 races for each of the 4 flights for the main fleet of 263 sailors, in light breeze of approximately 10Knts or less.

Bleddyn Mon the current Magic Marine National Champion has declared his intension to be the first modern day Topper Sailor to retain his trophy. Bleddyn has won 3 races and came third in the forth, which he is now discarding. Lawrence Sly has showed consistency in coming second in 3 races and now resides in second overall. Andrew Brown the current world champion has managed a first and third and lies in that position overall.

There have been some other notable place holders including the luckless Ben Palmer who has managed a first and second, but has also picked up two OCS which will be difficult to recover from. Phil McCoy, Anna Piggot and Richard Cumpsty have a bullet to their name with Emily Jackson, Matt Johnson, Tom Gillard and Freddie Conner have all come second in one race. Alex Groves, Carl Mitchell have come in 3rd and Max Robinson has got two such score to his name.

Day 3 is the last day of qualifying with the top half of the fleet moving into Gold for the Championship series which starts on day 4. Whilst day 3 has potential race programme of 4 races this looks unlikely with no wind available at 11:00.

The 26 regatta fleet sailors continue to enjoy their adventures as well as a race programme that has seen 4 completed races.
