Record entry for RS200 Rooster Noble Marine National Championships

The forecast for day 3 of the RS200 Noble Marine Rooster Nationals was a building breeze, sunny spells & possible rain shower. Well, we got the breeze for the 3^rd race of the day, we saw a sliver of blue sky, but in reality the wind was affected by the black shower clouds.

Race 5 started in a shifty 8 knots building to 10 knots by the end. Arran Holman & Haydn Sewell took the shifts up the beat to lead at the first mark with Elliot Hanson & Martin Wrigley 3 boat lengths behind. A gybing duel & match racing tactics from Arran kept Elliott behind at the finish with Ian Martin & Chris Catt in 3^rd.

The wind dropped for race 6, & shifted with black clouds over the mainland & Isle of Wight. The Hammett’s were pathfinder, & three quarters of the way up their run, the AP went up & the start was aborted, due to a big left shift. The race went ahead on the 2^nd attempt & again the middle left paid. Another shifty race with some snakes & ladders both upwind & downwind. Elliot & Martin picked the left side of the course on the downwind & romped into the lead. Niki Birrell sailing with Ben Whaley came in 2^nd with James Grummett & Larissa Connabeer in 3^rd.

Race 7 & the wind increased to 12 knots. Elliott & Martin stretched their legs with Arran & Haydn in hot pursuit. But Tokyo Olympian Elliott & 470 helm Martin, who have teamed up just for this event, were now in their stride & stretched their lead as the wind increased to 15 knots. Arran & Haydn stayed in 2^nd with Ian & Chris taking another 3^rd today.

Overalls:

1st Elliot Hanson & Martin EWrigley

2nd Arran Holman & Haydn Sewell

3rd Tom Morris & James Crossley

In the ‘Ask the Experts’ session last night Elliot, Martin, Arran, Emma Clarke & Tommy Darling gave those in the audience some of their top tips. Some great advice which hopefully worked for some people today.

Two more races tomorrow with the final showdown on Thursday.
