Results / GUL Grand Prix Draycote Water SC - 31/03/2012

Despite the poor forecast and fuel problems, 10 boats arrived at the first Gul circuit event of the season to be greeted by a gentle north easterly breeze, which strengthened during the day.

Race Officer Tim Filmore decided to squeeze in 4 races on Saturday, due to the poor forecast for Sunday.   In the first race, on a course shared with the RS400 fleet, Huw Powell sailing a 10.2 rig led from the start closely followed by Mark Harrison (8.4), with Alex Morrison (10.2) gaining places to 3rd as a few capsized.  On the last lap Huw had a problem with the kite drop, allowing Mark to slip up the inside to win, followed by Alex, with Greg Booth in an 8.4 in 3rd.  

The second race saw Huw in front, with a close race for 2nd place between Andrew Wilson, in his first event in the 100, Richard Pratt, Alex and Mark. By the penultimate (5th) lap, Mark had just overtaken Alex with Andrew not far behind.  This looked set to be the finishing order, but Huw miscounted the number of laps, going to the finish a lap early, and after realising his mistake only managed to finish 4th behind Mark, Alex and Andrew. 

Race 3 unfolded in a similar way, with Mark winning from Alex, and Huw in 3rd after starting an extra lap.   The last race of the day saw Greg return to the fray, after a two race rest sorting out a spinnaker problem. Alex had made an early return to the shore with a broken kicker, and individual recalls for both Huw and Mark kept them away from the front of the fleet Approaching the last mark, Greg was leading, followed closely by Ian and Richard with Huw and Mark  chasing.  Lap counting once again defeated the leaders, with the first 4 setting off on an extra beat, allowing Mark to head for the line, and leaving a frustrated Greg finishing 6th.

Sunday dawned sunny but flat calm. Sailing was abandoned, with final positions shared between the two rigs - Mark Harrison as overall winner and 1st 8.4, with Huw Powell as 1st 10.2.
