Record entry for RS200 Rooster Noble Marine National Championships
The sailors arrived at HISC on day 4 of the RS200 Noble Marine Rooster National Championships to cloud and a fickle breeze. After an indefinite postponement, the fleet started racing in 6-8 knots & sunny skies 2 hours later than scheduled.
Leading race 8 at the windward mark was Jamie Harris & Ellen Main - a lead they kept to the finish. By the bottom of the run Tommy & Charlie Darling had caught up from 10th to 2nd with Steve Cockerill & Emma Clarke in 3rd. The race committee moved the windward mark with the right shift but places remained the same at the top. The final run was a three-way battle for 2nd, with Elliot & Martin coming out in front of Tommy & Charlie at the final mark.
Race 9 looked tricky with sea mist starting to roll in from West Pole & the wind still light & shifty. The windward mark saw many new faces at the front end of the fleet. Alex Smallwood & Callum Farnden rounded first as the wind dropped even further. By the leeward gate Elliot & Martin had taken the lead, whilst Alex & Callum dropped to 3rd behind Tom & James. The mist held off long enough for Elliot & Martin to secure the race win & the overall championship with a race to spare! Alex & Callum caught back up to 2nd with Morgan & Charlotte in 3rd. Tom & James were 4th, moving them to 2nd overall and a healthy 13 points ahead of 3rd placed Arran & Haydn.
Day 5 is forecast to be a very light northerly but fingers crossed the final race will be sailed to wrap up the championship.
