Magic Marine RS Aero UK National Championships - Day 2

by Frances Peters on 31 Aug 2015
Startline day 2 - 2015 Magic Marine RS Aero UK National Championships Frances Peters
Magic Marine RS Aero UK National Championships - Sailors were met this morning with a steady 10-12 knot breeze from the North East. Four races were scheduled in the 2012 Olympic Waters of Weymouth Bay. After a long sail out to the start line, race one got underway on time with 74 boats on the start line to compete in the daily handicap style race.

A short beat and a rapidly dying breeze kept racing tight and it was those on the left of the course that sought out the better pressure to reach the mark in the lead. Henry Jameson picked up where he left off, taking the bullet in the five rigs. Meanwhile overnight leader in the seven rigs, Glen Truswell took the bullet in his fleet, ahead of Peter Barton and Jack Holden. The fight for the win in the nine rigs came down to the final mark when Olympic medallist, Simon Hiscocks battled for pole position against Luke Deegan. It was Deegan that came out on top and crossed the line ahead of a cursing Hiscocks.

After a short wait as the wind clocked round, race two got underway in a solid 10 knots. This time it was Will Taylor’s turn to lead the way in the five fleet after a strong start. Not far behind him were Henry Jameson and Matthew Caiger. Peter Barton took his second win of the series in the seven rigs, ahead of Truswell, while Robbie Wilson of Wormit Boating Club in Scotland finished third. It was Luke Deegan that led the way in the nine rigs for the second race of the day, this time chased by David Rickard.

A steady increase in breeze saw 15 knots on the start line for the third race. Will Taylor took to the breeze like a duck to water in the five rigs and finished with a strong lead while Louis Wright of Hayling Island Sailing Club, also evidently enjoying the breeze, took second. The battle between Barton and Truswell continued in the seven fleet, with Truswell returning to the lead for the finish. Jack Holden of Arun Yacht Club took third. Luke Deegan was starting to make it look easy in the nine rigs, casually posting another bullet ahead of Rickard and Hiscocks.

A fourth race in a building breeze after a long upwind sail to the race course started to take its toll on sailors. Boat handling was proving more of a challenge and hiking was becoming increasingly intermittent across the fleet! Will Taylor made an exception to the rule, taking the win in the final race by a good margin and putting himself in pole position overnight.

After gear failure off the start line in race three, Matt Caiger came back fighting and was happy to take second in the final race, securing third place overnight behind Jameson. Meanwhile Debbie Degge sailed a consistent day to leave herself in fourth place overnight and leading lady. In the seven fleet, Glen Truswell was taking no prisoners and took another bullet, securing the leading spot overnight. True to form, Barton took second place, leaving himself just three points shy of Truswell going into the final day.

Fergus Barnham of Snettisham Beach Sailing Club sits in third place overnight after a consistent day. Determined to beat Deegan’s winning streak in the nine fleet, David Rickard crossed the line first in the final race, leaving himself in second going into the final day ahead of Simon Hiscocks and Matt Thursfield, while Truswell remains in the lead.

A long day on the water will now be concluded with a BBQ on shore, before competitors head over to Weymouth to let their hair down in advance of the final day of racing tomorrow.
