Sail-World.com : Zhik RS200 Eurocup – Sailing heaven
Zhik RS200 Eurocup – Sailing heaven
|
Zhik RS200 Eurocup update: Many venues can claim to be the best in the world for sailing – Palma, Sardinia, San Fran, Wembley, BCYC, etc. But in this humble author’s opinion, one place stands out – Riva del Garda. Today, it played host to 76 RS200s on the first day of the Zhik RS200 Eurocup and did a decent impression of what sailing heaven is like, with blue skies, 16-20knots and lovely little rolling waves, perfect.
Race one got away first time, to everyone’s surprise, and the fleet soon all tacked off onto port and headed to the cliffs. First ones there, and also to the windward mark, were James Boyce/Sam Tozer, obviously looking to impress their travelling WAGS. Unfortunately though, Roger Gilbert/Jane Willan had slipped back into formidable RS200 form and showed how to sail low and fast downwind to pass the early leaders. They kept the lead to the end, with Andy and Jill Peters showing lots of pace downwind to almost catch Boyce/Tozer on the last downwind leg, but not quite enough, so took third.
Race two also saw a clean get away and yet more scrambling to the cliffs. This time, the fleet’s second blast from the past Dave Giles, ably assisted by Fiona Clarke, showed that age has not diminished them as they led from the start to almost the finish. Unfortunately, in a moment of bravado (maybe?) they carried the spinnaker on the final leg to the finish but were met by a monster gust and had to drop. As they slowed, Gilbert/Willan took advantage and snuck past, to record their second bullet of the day. Giles/Clarke survived to take second while Dave and Jane Hivey took third.
Special mentions for the day – Pete Vincent sailing without a bung. No other story can come close.
A very broken fleet is now enjoying free pasta (another feather in Garda’s cap), and trying to recover in time for tomorrow. If its as good as today, it’ll be awesome.
