Results / Scottish Championships Royal Tay YC - 18/06/2022
Royal Tay Yacht Club hosted the RS400 Scottish Championships for the second event of Stewart Brewing Scottish Tour.
18 June 2022 - Saturday
The four boat fleet had a smaller than expected turnout, with many regulars being tied up elsewhere. The weather was unfortunately 30+ knot gusts and correctly the PRO decided to abandon the racing for the day. The club kindly provided free pizza for all competitors which was accompanied by cold IPA from Stewart Brewing, our class sponsors.
19 June 2022 - Sunday
Greeted with a shifty offshore north-westerly, the PRO set the best course possible from this difficult wind direction. With a strong tide the tactics were to sail up the shoreline which became a tacking duel between all 4 boats then blast to the channel downwind.
All 4 boats had a shot of leading races however it was Neil McLellan with Hannah Robertson and Jon Gay with Amanda Henderson who produced better consistency. Tied on points at the end of the regatta the 1st place was decided on the results of the last race, with Neil and Hannah winning that race and the Scottish Championships.
Thank you to our hosts, Royal Tay YC and everyone involved with the regatta. Thank you to Stewart Brewing for their continued sponsorship for the Scottish Tour and to Rooster for its support of the National Tour.
Next event for the Stewart Brewing Scottish Tour is Aberdeen and Stonehaven YC on 16/17 July, last event before the UK National Championships at North Berwick in August.
