Around 40 competitors are expected to enter the inaugural UK National Championship for the new RS100 racing dinghy at Parkstone Yacht Club this weekend. The RS100 was only launched this year and has generated over 200 new boat orders to date.  Generously supported by DAKINE, the RS100 UK National Championship will be the first time the UK boats will meet face-to-face on home waters and will provide the ideal practice regatta for the much anticipated European Grand Prix in St Raphael, France in late September. So who will be the first RS100 Champion? Well, you’d have to put some money on RS’s own Nick Peters who probably has the most hours in the boat and is, after all, a top sailor! Simon Childs, ex Phantom champion, is getting to grips with his new RS100 quickly and then there are the home team from Parkstone; Phil Jackson likely to be near the top of their pile. The great thing about a brand new class is the empty form book and no knowing who’ll walk away with the trophies. Tim Wilkins and Heather Martin are RS500 World Champions . . . The RS500 Magic Marine Worlds were held at Bruinisse, Grevelingen Meer in the Netherlands. For the title it was a last race shootout! Exactly the same scoreline meant that whoever was ahead of the other (no matter where) at the line would be crowned.  Four laps to decide it. Up the first beat Taylor/Mobbs and Wilkins/Martin were as tied by an umbilical cord and rounded in that order. But the Swedes Rook/Broberg first to mark 2 having had a blinding downwind. Upwind on lap 2 there was still barely any separation but Dutch Hilterman/Blom were now into their stride as the Swedes started to wilt just a little. Lap 3 is where it was won barring any last minute breakages. Wilkins/Martin found a gust they could hold onto downwind whilst Taylor/Mobbs in seeking the separation required to be able to cut the covering umbilical cord sailed out of the pressure. Worse still, it let the Dutch boat back in ahead of them as well. Whilst Tim Wilkins and Heather Martin extended a little to take the title in joyous celebration Alex Taylor and Bryan Mobbs showed that they are true champions in the wider sense of the word by fighting back past the Dutch to take the second step on the podium. Youth World Champions are Hansebas Meijer and Fedor Couvert of the Netherlands in 8th place. They were also one of the leading party boats together with a posse of a further 2 Dutch boats, a British youth boat and the inimitable lads from Hong Kong Will Stephens & Justin Tse. Ladies World Champions are Annika Ellerbrock and Anne Werner from Rostock in Germany by a mere 3 points from the host nations Stephanie and Chantalle Grootscholten. Nick Craig and James Stewart crowned RS400 Champions . . .  Well it's all over for the 2010 RS400 Nationals Championships at sunny Pwllheli SC, with Nick Craig and James Stewart once again crowned Champions.

Dave Wade and Ben McGrane claimed their second National Fireball title on the final day of racing at Restronguet SC. Friday saw three races out in Falmouth Bay, making for a long day on the water. Wade and McGrane were leading going into the final day and they were the most consistent boat again winning the final race to secure the title ahead of Martyn Lewis and Richard Byne with the 2009 Champions Matt Burge and Richard Wagstaff in third.  The opening day had little wind to speak of. Martyn Lewis and Richard Byne, who were sailing this year in a borrowed boat, were the stars of the day posting two bullets in the tidal and shifty conditions. Reigning champions Matt Burge and Richard Wagstaff also had an excellent day posting two seconds. Monday brought a complete change of conditions. Two windy races were held with the wind reaching 28 knots during the 2nd race of the day. Wade and McGrane winning from Burge and Wagstaff and Sam Mettam & Richard Anderton. Race 4 saw Becky Priest and Tim Saunders lead for much of the race with Wade and McGrane only taking the lead on the final leg of the course. Tuesday was another day of excellent racing in Falmouth bay. Race 5 saw Mettam and Anderton charge off with Wade and McGrane in close pursuit to finish in that order with Burge and Wagstaff keeping the pressure on with a 3rd. Race 6 saw Wade and McGrane score another win and take the lead into the layday. Vince Horey and Sam Breary took 2nd. Thursday. Race 7 was held in Falmouth bay in marginal trapezing conditions. Wade won from Lewis, with Russ and Ali Cormack 3rd.

Taylor Canfield (ISV) Team ISV Nick Craig leads after Day 1 at RS400 Nationals . . . After a flurry of late entries for the RS400 National Championship at Pwllheli SC, the fleet of 60 set off for the first race in a pleasant force 3 – 4 and intermittent sunshine. A fabulous turnout for the RS400s, especially in a Garda year. A number of ringers and old (sorry guys!) National Champions have appeared making it a rather close battle in the top half of the fleet.  The first race was abandoned when it was realised that the spreader mark was still in the RIB and was not the lobster pot we had all rounded. Thereafter, two amazing races in short chop and large gusts, finished off with an amazing rain squall. Nick Craig achieved a bullet in both races with 2nd and 3rd places tied on points between Jim Downer and Paul Hillier. 
David and Jane Hivey win the RS200 UK Nationals . . . David and Jane Hivey won the RS200 Nationals in North Berwick from Robbie Burns/Vic Simpson with Ben Saxton/Matt Rainback rounding off the top three. The final day was shortened by the light winds but for the Hiveys, who had dominated the week, it was a happy outcome. After an hours delay the first race got away following a general recall. Hamish Walker and Emma Clarke won comfortably from Saxton and Rainback with Andy McKeown and Ben Wilcox sailing brilliantly to hold onto third place. At thie point the Hiveys had the title, but did not know it. What did turn out to be the final race was sailed in similar conditions to the first. Again the leaders came from the right of the course. James Peters and Alan Roberts lead comfortably at the windward mark and extended to win by a good distance after the shortened two laps. The silver fleet title was taken comfortably by Dave Royse and Nikki Russell finishing in 15th overall. The bronze prize went to Chloe and Daniel Martin.

Great Britain's Kieran Martin won the Boys Techno 293 medal race on the final day of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, to pick up the bronze medal by three points from Chaneui Kim (KOR). Long-time competition leader Mayan Rafic (ISR) won the Boys Techno 293 gold medal finishing nine points ahead of Michael Chun Leung Cheng (HKG), who took the silver. The battle for silver came down to the wire but Cheng just pipped Martin by a single point. When he reached the beach he didn't know what colour medal he had won. "I'm very happy with the result I don't know exactly what I got but I'm just happy to get a medal." Britain's Jade Roberts was 11th. Thailand's golden girl Siripon Kaewduang-Ngam sailed to windsurfing victory to claim the Girls windsurfing Gold. Veronica Fanciulli (ITA) won the silver medal and Singapore's Audrey Pei Lin Yong the bronze. Austria's Lara Vadlau clinched gold in the Girls' Byte class. Silver medallist was Daphne Van der Vaart from the Netherlands. Constanze Stolz of Germany took the bronze. In the Boys Byte event Virgin Islander Ian Barrows sailed to gold, Germany's Florian Haufe claimed silver and Netherlands Antilles' sailor Just Van Aanholt clinched bronze. No GBR entries in the Byte events. Hayling Island SC ready to welcome competitors for Laser World Championships . . . With one week until racing starts for the 2010 Laser World Championships, hosts Hayling Island Sailing Club are primed and ready to play their role in delivering one of the biggest and most prestigious Olympic class World Championships this year.  The Laser World Championships have grown substantially since they were last held in the United Kingdom, in Falmouth in 1988 when there were 88 entries from 24 different countries and Glenn Bourke (AUS) won the first of his three back-to-back Laser world titles. Hayling Island sees an entry of 160 men qualified to represent 51 different countries as well as an entry of 137 Juniors who will compete for the inaugural Laser Junior world title. So the waters off the renowned English club will have nearly 300 sailors competing on two different course areas. The Laser Junior World Championships is for sailors between the ages of 17 and 20. After a preliminary practice race on Sunday 29 August, competition for the titles starts on Monday 30 August. The qualifying series which splits the total open fleet into gold, silver and bronze divisions, runs Monday 30th to Thursday 2nd September with two races scheduled each day. The final series is scheduled to set two races a day from Friday with the title presentations on Sunday 5 September. “We are all fully prepared and ready to go. We have had our organizing committee working on the delivery of a high quality event for well over a year now. Now all the boats are here, there have been sailors here training for a while now and the atmosphere is really building up nicely. The army of volunteers we have are all recruited and prepared. All of the safety boats are here ready to go. The Race teams are ready. Accommodation is filling up fast. The club kitchen is fully stocked with orange juice, energy drinks and pasta. We are ready to go.” confirms Hayling Island SC’s general manager Carol Letten. The club has a great reputation for running major events. In recent years they have hosted the 420 World Championships, the 505 World Championships as well as the RYA Youth National Championships. Already this season they have run the RS Feva UK Nationals, the Musto Skiff UK Nationals and next year they will be the base for the Flying 15 World Championships.  One week out and it is hard to predict what version of the British late summer weather will unfold for the huge armada of Laser sailors. “In truth in September anything could happen and we have to be prepared for all the different extremes and possibilities. But suffice to say the Hayling ‘sunshine factor’ quite often prevails, where we can see sunshine here when it raining elsewhere!” says Letten. “We have more than 100 volunteers offering their time and skills every day during the Worlds. And between the Worlds and the Masters Worlds that equates to an incredible 2500 volunteer days, which includes club members and student volunteers from South Downs College. Along with the fundamental skills such as boat driving and race management, we have made sure that we are well covered for language skills.” “We have spent many months ensuring that Hayling Island Sailing Club is ready for this prestigious event and are now keeping our fingers crossed that the weather gods play their part in putting on some great conditions! Many HISC members will be assisting with the race management of this event and we look forward to witnessing a competitive and exciting World Championships.” concludes the Club Commodore Mark Wood.

Scottish Masters Robbie Burns and Vicki Simpson won the RS200 Scottish Champship from James Stewart and Toby Lewis with Paul Childs crewed by Susie Moore in 3rd. Usually the Saturday before the RS200 UK Nationals is reserved as a practice day but this year the practice day included two races as part of the Scottish Champship. Then on Sunday the Scottish Championhip was completed with the first two races of the UK Nationals. The day started with lovely 15 - 20 knots but just as the first boats began to launch things got nasty & quite soon it was clear winds were building above 35 knots & boats were sent back to shore. Two hours later the wind moderated & the fleet raced in near perfect 15 - 20 knots. Burns and Simpson improved on their Saturday results to take the Scotish title.
