Noble Marine Enterprise National Championships at Tenby Sailing Club - Day 4
by Charles Morrish 7 Aug 2025 13:02 BST
3-8 August 2025
Course: Trapezoid outer loop, three beats
Wind: SW F2
Race 6
Only one race was scheduled for Wednesday in order to catch up with the overall race
programme.
It appeared that the committee boat end was favoured and several boats that started there tacked
early onto port to take advantage of a left side lift. Unfortunately for them the lift continued and
the boats above them were better placed.
The main beneficiaries were Jeremy & Becca Stephens
and Charles Morrish & Dan Swaffield. These two were nip and tuck all the way to the windward
mark with Charles & Dan just ahead at that point. Jeremy & Becca took the lead at the first
leeward mark and gradually pulled further clear. Chris Palmer & Ella Rich were third round the
windward mark and consolidated that position as the race progressed.
Crews' Race
This was scheduled immediately after Race 6 on a windward/leeward course with two
beats. Nine Enterprises joined in the fun. Becca Stephens crewed by dad Jeremy came out on top
with Dan Swaffield crewed by Duncan Willoughby in second and Alex Homer & Jon Woodward in
third.
