2015 Noble Streaker National Championships – Final day overall

2015 Noble Streaker National Championships – The forecast for the day was to start with lighter winds which came as good news to some of the fleet who had been struggling with the stronger winds of the previous two days. Whilst rigging in the shelter of the WPNSA main building, this forecast seemed to be holding true. However, as the fleet took the to water for the penultimate race of the regatta, it was clear that the wind had built to be more than had been forecast.

Having behaved for all the previous starts race seven saw the only general recall of the championship, the slight pin end bias on the line seeming too tempting to pass up. The race started on the next attempt with the two forerunners opting to start at opposing ends of the line. Tom Gillard won the committee boat end of the line but it was Ian Jones (who had started at the pin end) who came out ahead at the windward mark and was able to hold his lead to the finish.

Race seven: With Tom Gillard and Ian Jones having three firsts and three seconds, each needed to win the last race to take the championship. Unfortunately, due to much commotion at the committee boat end of the line, Ian Jones fell foul to an individual recall which saw him out of contention for the final race. Dave Butler continued to capitalise on the breezier conditions and was the first to make the bear away around the windward mark, closely followed by Ian Morgan and Tom Gillard.

As with the other racing throughout the weekend, a lot of very close racing was seen from a pack of boats all vying for a top ten position finish to round off the event. By the end of the last beat up to the finish Tom Gillard had worked his way to another race win which saw him sat firmly at the top of the results to win the 2015 Noble Marine Streaker Class National Championships. Great consistency was shown throughout the top end of the fleet, in particular by Ian Jones who finished second and Ian Morgan claiming third.

All agreed that this had been the best Nationals that anyone could remember, with hard fought sailing and an outstanding evening at the Anniversary Dinner, with after dinner speaker David Henshall who spoke on how the Weymouth Single Handed Dinghy Trials led to the creation of our own class.
