RS100 Day 3 Report
Day 3
The rain fell hard on Weybiza today, prompting many people to rig in
very wet wetsuits and full ff-shore gear. 15-20kts from the NE provided
some challenging & close racing.
Race I began finally under a black flag wih committee boat bias. At the
windward mark, Paul Childs led from Alex Morrison and Neal Freeman.
Childs managed to miss the spreader mark of the outer loop (unaware),
Morrison went for a dip, so Freeman took the bullet.
In Race 2, another black start saw no victims. Childs led at the
windward mark, followed by Olympic 470 hopeful, Stu Bithell and
Freeman. The race was very tight with Bithell going for the final reach
with his kite up before capsizing just after finishing. Freeman took 3rd.
Rob Jones had a blinding beat in race 3, taking the lead at the windward
mark, followed by Freeman and Turnbull. An epic race took place, and,
with fatigue taking victims, Freeman proved to be the man, taking the
bullet, followed by Jones and with Simon Bennett in 3rd.
After an eventful day, the evening too saw an epic Sprint Champs, with
Giles Scott, Paul Goodison, Luke Patience, Hugh Styles, Nick Craig, and
Peter Barton taking on the mortals in an epic event close to the shore.
If only the sun was out, it would have made for a perfect day!
