With gales forecasted for Saturday it was great to still see 65 RS boats make the trip to Rutland SC for the 2019 RS End of Season Regatta.
Saturday was looking ‘marginal’, so to make sure a sacrificial RS Vareo was released into the boiling mass of white horses that was Rutland Water.
It was judged that a planing RS Vareo was clearly a sign that it was absolutely hooning and racing was cancelled for the day.
On Sunday it was light and Lakey with larger than life shifts. Lots of squatting for those with the high performance RS craft.
Eventually four races were completed for each of the five fleets to round of a great weekend . . .
The RSVareo and an RS100 raced together with overall victory going to Luke Fisher with Nicholas Crickmore second, both Vareo, and Aidan Skinneetaking third in his 100.
The second mixed fleet comprised the RS600s with an RS300. Here Peter Mackin took overall victory in his 300 with three wins, leaving thethe 600s of Chris Haslam and Jamie Mawson to complete the podium places.
In the third mixed class, with some serious RS400 rock-stars on parade, it was Michael Sims and Mark Lunn claiming victory after fiinishing tied on points with Nick Craig and Oli Wells, and third place going to Steve and Sarah Cockerill.
In the single class results David Jessop and Sophie Mear took first in the RS200 class ahead of Matt Fowler and Lynne Ratcliffe, and third going to Aaron Holma and Lawrence Creaser.
The RS800 class saw Luke and Emma McEwen sweep all before them to claim another title, with Cameron and Darrol Moss second, and Hugh Shone and Fiona Hampshire third.
