Red Square Lark Nationals at Weymouth Sailing Club - Day 5


Author: Emma Harris

The Red Square Lark Nationals continued on a perfect
day for sailing with hot sun and Force 3-4 winds

Race 6:

After a clean, Gate start, the wind shifted
progressively right, fooling most of the fleet into
missing the real windward mark and instead rounding a
mark on a neighbouring course.

Those starting early and going left were left
grinning. Many of the overall leaders were left ruing
their lost opportunities. Those spotting the correct
mark were guaranteed top-ten places, with Harry Pynn &
Matt Byrne the desrved winners.



Race 7:

With a short assymmetric course putting a premium on
the first beat, Martin Gillam & Matt Griffiths led the
fleet around the first mark with Matt White & Clare La
forge close behind. These three boats extended their
lead and had a ding-dong battle, but it was Hufton &
Styles who got into the lead downwind and held off the
other two to win.



1st Nigel Hufton & Tasha Styles
2nd Matt White & Clare La Forge
3rd Dougal & Nigel Scott
4th Martin Gillam & Matt Griffiths
5th Neil & Fiona Ravenscroft
6th Dave Larkham & Annie Turner

Overall results - 7 races (1 discard):



1st Steve & Karen Bolland 25.5 pts

3rd Dave Larkham & Annie Turner 27 pts
4th Emma Harris & Helen Woodward 40 pts
