Results / Fat Face Racing Circuit Rutland SC - 22/04/2006
Rutland Sailing Club played host to the second round of this years Fat
Face RS600 circuit. Eight boats arrived to be greeted with light winds
forecast for the weekend. Racing on the weekend saw new faces to go with
the few regulars.
Race one got off to a steady start with some marginal trapeezing. Jamie
Mawson took the lead but the other boats stayed close behind. There was
regular place changing throughout the race with second and third places
being anybody�s. By the end of the race there was less than a minute
between second and last places. Race two and three followed the same
pattern with Jamie getting two more bullets.
Day two and race four and five took the same format as the day before,
with race five being cut short after 1 lap as the wind died completely.
After a short squall, the wind settled to a nice force 3 and provided the
most exciting race of the weekend and again there was some close racing
throughout the fleet. No-one was left on their own. Jamie Mawson won
the weekend with his six shooter closely followed by James Sainsbury and
Ken Potts. The merit award went to Mark Duckworth in fifth.
Thanks go to Rutland Sailing Club and Fat Face as we look forward to Lee
on Solent with the promise of more regulars turning up. Let�s look
forward to an event that is always popular and to a good turn out.
