2015 Noble Streaker National Championships – Day 2 overall

Day 2 - 2015 Noble Streaker National Championships Karen Langston
2015 Noble Streaker National Championships – With a stronger breeze than initially anticipated, the fleet launched in glamorous sunny conditions to resume the 40th Championships.

At the start of race three, the heavier sailors were champing at the bit to improve their scores from the previous day. As usual, superior boat handling and expert analysis of wind conditions saw the front runners aim for the pin end, heading for Portland Bill. With Ian Jones and Tom Gillard pushing each other hard, sprinting away from the rest of the fleet in their own scrap, it was Tom who emerged at the front of the fleet to take the gun.

After a short break for lunch, race four was started in an ever increasing breeze bringing grins from the likes of Dave Butler who could have been the only sailor not to have touched the kicker! Once again the fleet was well behaved off the start line, with everyone getting away cleanly. Two of the sailors happy with the increasing wind conditions were Ian Morgan and Dave Butler. Battling constantly upwind, Morgan prevailed and led around the first mark onto the reaches. Meanwhile, behind them Tom Gillard and Ian Jones resumed their battle with even more intensity, both engaged in a luffing battle on all points of course.

Despite the fighting, their speed didn't suffer as they once again popped out in front of the fleet. After constant dogfighting all over the fleet, with positions changing at all times, Tom once again took the gun, with Ian Jones following closely behind. Ian Morgan won his battle over Dave Butler coming across the line in third, with Chris Catt in fourth after an impressive display of gutsy downwind sailing.

Race five saw the breeze holding its strength as the sea breeze added to the gradient wind, with some tired legs starting to show throughout the fleet. Ian Jones managed to get clear of the fleet after rounding the windward mark in first place. After taking the left-hand side of the course, Tom Gillard found himself having to duck multiple boats, leaving him with a lot of work to do to continue his low scoring. Ian Morgan proved himself to be Mr Consistency on the second day, after another race of duking it out with Dave Butler, coming home in third place once again.

The overall picture in the top two sees Tom Gillard take the lead from Ian Jones after a day with two wins and a second place. Below them, the top ten has changed drastically, with Ian Morgan piling up the order after discarding a 10th place, with Chris Catt moving down to fourth place after an incident-filled final race. The variety of the sail makers in the class is really shown off, with the top six all using a different sail maker.
