Results / Fat Face RS Eurocup La Societe des Regates Rochelaises, La Rochelle, France - 24/07/2005

Practice race report: The practice race got under way, the clouds cleared to reveal sunshine with 20 knots of breeze with a rolling sea. The race got under way promptly at 16.30pm. The majority of the fleet started at the committee boat end and got away cleanly. Pete Greenhalge one of the race favourites was well in the second row and tacked off right, within the first one hundred meters. Jerry Wales also followed and went hard right Steve Butcher went hard left. With the roaring tide there was obviously going to be a favoured side. The wind ward mark was over a mile away, with the majority of the fleet going left, Greenhalge crossed them with a comfortable lead followed by Wales. Greenhalge never looked back and extended his lead to win; showing that his hard training over the summer is beginning to pay off. But some say it�s bad luck to win the practice race before a major event, we shall see! With his exceptional boat handling Wales came 2nd. Butcher sailed a solid race and was third followed by a tussle between Dave Cummings and John Heissig with Cummings crossing the line first. 1st Pete Greenhalge GBR 2nd Jerry Wales GBR 3rd Steve Butcher GBR 4th Dave Cummings GBR
