Noble Marine RS600 National Championship at Eastbourne Sovereign Sailing Club - Day 2

by Richard Smith 13 Sep 2024 21:21 BST 12-15 September 2024

Another one of those days to add some grey hair to our diligent race officer.

Four races held in between 0.6 and about 7 knots I'm told, with big shifts and wind bands in the offshore breeze.

We were up, down, around and about to better or worse degrees.

The writer was a little off the case for a blow by blow account. Of note Will Russell lost his nationals cherry in race 5. Richard Bone and Andy Peake were bang tidy throughout. Jamie Mawson and George sailed with their regular and frustrating class, and the writer secured a win in the final race with guile and tenacity, (as if)...
