Results / Fat Face Racing Circuit Weymouth SC - 03/06/2006
The RS400 Fat Face circuit moved to Weymouth Sailing club over the sunny
weekend of June 3rd/4th. Concerns over whether the fleet would get any
wind proved to be groundless as Saturday�s racing was held in a solid
force 3.
Chris Gowers/June Riley made an excellent start to the first race to
grab a lead that would never be challenged. Behind them, Nick Craig/James
Stewart held off Chris and Rob Martin to take second place. Gowers/Riley
continued their good form in the second race but this time Craig/Stewart
pulled through to win, with Tom Halhead/Chris Bishop just holding off
Hywel Roberts/Toby Lewis for third place. In the third race, a wind shift
split the fleet off the line and at the first mark Craig/Stewart and
Gowers/Riley came storming in from the left to take the lead, with
Craig/Stewart winning in the end and Roberts/Lewis in third place.
The fleet was met by much less wind on Sunday, but eventually a light sea
breeze came in enough to race. Halhead/Bishop sailed around the fleet on
the first downwind to take a lead that they held to the end, to win from
Craig/Stewart and Gowers/Riley. More wind came in for the second race,
and the Martin�s showed great pace to win from Halhead/Bishop. After a
delay, a short final race began and it was Halhead/Bishop who won again,
from Craig/Stewart.
This gave Craig/Stewart the overall title from Halhead/Bishop and
Gowers/Riley. Sam Parker/Anna Ludgate showed great form to win the silver
fleet.
