Club Racing 10th June 2007

Holiday absence, open meetings elsewhere and persistent cold grey skies should have kept competitor numbers down at Gorleston last Sunday.In fact there was one of the largest turnouts for a club programme day.

The RS400 fleet continues to build with the welcome return of the convalesced Martin Browne, another appearance by Nick Barrett and the arrival of the “new” boat crewed by Ray Jones and Hayley Parks.  

In the morning the light crews such as Phil Highfield and Tamsin Butcher were favoured as was Chris Sallis in his powerfully rigged  Phantom. More wind after lunch produced a return to the form book with the Fireballs of Veronica Falat and Dave Houghton eventually getting the better of Chris Sallis.  

Results:

Race 1 (16)  1st Phantom 1116 (Sallis)  2nd RS400 Hermione (Browne and Holmes)  3rd Fireball Sharky (Falat and Falat)

Race 2 (16)   1st Phantom 1116   2nd Sharky  3rd Hermione

Race 3 (14)   1st Sharky   2nd Fireball (Houghton and Symonds)   3rd (Highfield and Butcher).
