Lookers Volvo Otter Int Cadet Open Meeting

Lookers Volvo Otter Int Cadet Open Meeting 24 Jun 2006

With the wind filling in nicely, Race Officer Paul Noonan got the event underway.

Race 1 The fleet split after the start with those sailing up the middle winning. George Somers / Claudia Wood-Hill led at the first mark and were closely followed by Becky Longman / Alex Corby, James Dwyer-Wilkinson / James Arney and George Ayre / William Kennedy, Charlie Matthews / William Arney. These places held for the remainder of the first lap. However, the second lap saw positions changing throughout the fleet. George / Claudia, leading into the final mark, were unfortunately mixed up with the tail-enders which allowed the following boats to take over. George / William touching the final mark in 1st place allowed Charlie / William and Amy Seabright / Katie Barr to take 1st and second places with George / William 3rd and Becky / Alex fourth.

Race 2 This race was again a closely fought race with downwind / tide tactics playing a major part. The first lap was led by Tye Wichard / Ben Thame who were now beginning to show good speed, with Charlie / William closely behind and then a gap to the chasing pack. By the end of the second lap and the finish, Tye / Ben kept their first place, and Arthur Henderson / Mary Henderson managed to play the tidal game better than the local sailors to sail into second place. Amy / Katie were third and Charlie / William fourth.

Race 3 Amy / Katie were unbeatable in the third race, having led from the start, although the chasing pack were frequently changing positions. At the end, the positions were Amy / Katie, Tye / Ben, Becky / Alex and Laura Barr / Chris Thame.

After the racing the barbecue and disco were enjoyed by all, and a good night’s sleep was called for.

An early start was planned to enable racing to complete before the England / Ecuador football match, with the wind a little stronger than the previous day.

Race 4 At the start, Harriet Smith / Chris Sycamore made a good start, but failed to take full advantage, allowing George / William and Arthur / Mary to get past her. The entire fleet sailed up the left hand side of the course, except for one visiting boat – Arthur / Mary who proved the locals wrong by making the first mark in second place. By the end of the first lap the positions were Tye / Ben, Theo Bull / Georgia Stone, George / William, Amy / Katie, but the rest of the fleet were not far behind. The race finished Tye / Ben, Theo / Georgia, Arthur / Mary, Robert Henderson / Hatty Ayre.

Race 5 The fleet split with 7 boats now following the lead from the visiting boats and sailing up the right side of the beat. At the end of the first lap the positions were George / William, Charlie / William, Arthur / Mary, Robert / Hattie. However the racing was by now very close with positions changing all the time in the top 6 positions. The race finished with Charlie / William winning, followed by Amy / Katie, Clare Dallimore / Sam Barr, Robert / Hattie. This set up a close finish with only one point separating the leading two boats.

The wind had increased for Race 6. George / William led the race from the start and finished convincing winners. Tye / Ben also maintained their second place from the start, and these two boats were followed by a large pack. The finishing positions were George / William, Tye / Ben, James Dodd / Tom Penman, Charlie / William.
