Etchells Worlds Race 5 full results and pix

Coming to the first mark - Race 5 2008 Etchells Worlds - Chicago Tim Wilkes http://www.TimWilkes.com

A late start on day 5 of the 2008 Chicago Etchells Worlds produced an exciting race. Jud Smith lead at the top mark for the first time ahead of Hank Lammens and Dave Dyer. However Smith missed a shift and dropped to third place up the second work, while the team of Dwyer, Beadsworth, and Fry came out on top by a comfortable gap followed by Canadian boat Lammens, Kneulman, and Smithers.

'We sailed an aggressive race,' Smith, the 2006 Etchells World Champion remarked. 'We started close at the pin and sailed hard out to the left.'

Smith explained that they were counting on a right hand shift, but on the second upwind beat the wind died on the right side before the shift filled, and Dwyer/Beadsworth and Lammens were able to slip by from the left.

Smith gained back much of the lost ground on the downwind leg and rounded the last leeward mark almost even with Lammens, where they made a bold decision to split with the two leaders and round the right gate.

With the large gap between the three leaders and the rest of the fleet, 'we had nothing to lose,' Smith explained. 'We were confident the right would come in, so we made the decision to split with Hank at the gate and go right.' The strategy paid off.

Ultimately, Jud Smith took the gun from Hank Lammens, with Dwyer/Beadsworth third.

With today’s first place, Smith’s team moves from sxith to second in the overall standings.

Over the past few days, many of the teams struggled with the long onshore postponements and extended delays on the water as the Race Committee reset the course numerous times to accommodate the shifting winds. As many sailors have experienced, these kinds of delays pose a challenge for competitors, making it difficult to maintain focus, energy, and the 'competitive edge' all racers value. 'Our coach helps a lot,' Smith said. 'He keeps us focused and makes sure we know what’s going on with the conditions. We knew to keep an eye on the clouds and to look for the right to fill.'

Despite strong finishes by Smith, Lammens, and Dwyer/Beadsworth in race 5, the USA's Bill Hardesty still holds the overall lead by 12 points with a respectable eight place finish today. His team is in a good position to take the World Championship title if they pull out one more solid finish in tomorrow's final race. Currently he is followed in the standings by Jud Smith, Henry Frazer, and James Porter with 68 points and Chris Busch, Chad Hough, Chuck Sinks, and Peter Burton with 86 points.

Tomorrow the Race Committee plans to run one long quality race to finish off the six races necessary to complete the regatta. This sixth race will allow the competitors a 'drop race,' which could have a meaningful effect on the scores. With the worst finishes of each boat excluded from the scores, we can expect to see some shuffling in the places.

Most of the regatta leaders have one deeper race, so it will be important for them to do well in tomorrow. This should mean some heavy competition for the last day of Worlds here in Chicago.
