Noble Marine UK Champs Day Two
It could easily be the Med (but prettier) here at HISC although there's a lot of whistling going on with the absence of the drafty stuff. We have a good turnout of RS700s and a great bunch of chaps as usual. Thursday's wind was better than forecast and, as predicted, local hero Steve Powell showed us the way round Bracklesham bay with a second and a first. Jerry Wales, the reigning champ, wasn't far behind of course, first and sixth.
Friday, another beautiful day, saw racing in a dying breeze in Hayling Bay West and as usual this sorted the men from the boys. Powell and Wales remain neck and neck and Jon Heissig (a bit rusty but always strong in light conditions) is beginning to show. Simon Letten, Tony Dencher and Andy Brown are all up there in the mix and the next half a dozen places will be closely contested. If, as looks likely, we don't get racing today it will be anyone's Championship tomorrow in (we hope) breezier conditions.
Interim results are in results tab and GPS tracks of the first five races are up on the usual website (http://www.hamishgriffiths.com/) or here http://www.hamishgriffiths.com/index.php?p=1_29_Nationals12 if you are online - enjoy.
Full writeup and GPS analysis early next week.
Meanwhile we're lapping up the sunshine and enjoying the super hospitality here at Hayling Island Sailing Club
