GUL RS700 Racing Circuit at Mumbles - July 14/15
The second GUL RS700 Racing Circuit event at Mumbles YC saw an impressive
boat handling display from the eleven RS700's. The 700 has already shown
that it has attracted a high calibre of sailor and will follow the lead of
the other RS classes and produce quality competitive racing. In the bursts
of strong winds on Saturday there was very little capsizing and in reality
the big shifts of Sunday were a bigger problem tot he 700's
Race 1 and the battle was on with Gareth Morgan and Carl Vinning fighting
for 1st with Andy White in 3rd There was place changing between Morgan and
Vinning but Morgan took the honours with Vinning 2nd and Neil Robinson,
who
passed White on the last beat, 3rd, pushing White to 4th and Stubbs 5th..
Race 2 saw the Welsh trio of Morgan, Steve Stubbs and Paul Lewis dominate
from start to finish with Morgan leading until the last beat when he took
a
nice swim in the shifty conditions to let Stubbs & Lewis through for the
last run. Lewis showed sound pace off wind to take Stubbs at the leeward
mark and the lead only to lose it when Stubbs & Morgan took him on the
final
leg. Stubbs took the honours with Morgan 2nd, Lewis 3rd, Vinning 4th and
Paul Bartlett 5th.
The Welsh were to the fore again in race 3 the Welsh duo of Morgan and
Stubbs lead from start to finish never to be challenged leaving Bartlett &
Lewis battling for 3rd with Bartlett taking 3rd with Lewis 4th & White
5th.
Sunday was not as breezy as the Saturday but the wind was nowhere near as
consistent. Carl Vinning, fresh from an early night sailed much better
then
Saturdays racing when he took a commanding lead in race 4 with Robinson &
White in hot pursuit. White eventually took the honours with Robinson 2nd,
Vinning 3rd, Stubbs 4th & Lewis 5th.
At the start of race 5 Lewis took an early lead only to go for the wrong
windward mark and found himself reaching back. Morgan and Vinning battled
for the top spot with Morgan taking the honours with Vinning 2nd, Robinson
3rd, Lewis 4th & White 5th.
Current RS600 National Champion, Gareth Morgan looked to have a good lead
going into the final race but had a did not finish on Saturday and hence
had
to count the final race. This still gave Carl Vining and Andy White a
chance
of overall victory. Vinning held an early comfortable lead but with White
&
Morgan chasing he soon got toppled for White to take the gun with Vinning
2nd, Morgan 3rd, Stubbs 4th & Bartlett 5th. This was more than enough to
see
Morgan take overall victory by 5 points.
Vining has now scored a first and a second overall at the first two RS700
events and appears to start marginal favourite for the RS700 Nationals at
Mounts Bay SC in three weeks time. There are though plenty of good sailors
who are getting to grips with these flying machines and the Nationals
promise's to be very open.
