Dinghy Racing: August 31st

ByJeff Monday September 1st, 2014Monday January 20th, 2020

Summer Weekend Series Sunday 31st August W 2-3 Pursuit W T U V Q ( U V C )

Finley Delivers on a Tall Order

A fine end of summer’s day for the Tall Ships race and, for Finley Walsh-Newton winning the HRSC Juniors section – sneaking a lap or two before viewing the Parade in Falmouth Bay.

Leading the pack Beks Hosking & Ben Johns in Feva expertly navigated convoys of spectator craft headed out to the bay – but held back to a 2nd place as their jib detached itself. Ed Hosken in a Byte – nicely trimmed from run to beam reach as a teasing Westerly blew 5-10kts variously North & West the mile or so to Toll but was trapped on an ebbing tide in the doldrums around Trebah and came 3rd. Finley’s Byte C2 with a more powerful sail was near perfect for the day, speeding ahead on the run and reach and, as the lightest helm, surprised himself by keeping the sail dry on the fickle beat upriver for a 1st.

Andy & Karen Biggs’ National 12 loves a gentle breeze and a helm that points her in the right direction – and that appeared to be a beat upriver on the south side where the breeze allowed him to head higher with less tide for an almost unassailable lead overall. A couple of Laser 2’s helmed by the Lizard’s Hosken & Hosking farming dynasties tried different tactics down river on the first leg but were caught by Phil Philpott’s Blaze and Brooks’ Laser at Toll. Thereafter Books and Chris Hosken did their upmost to resolutely explore oblivion; whilst Andrew Hosking sailed a blinder with his big sails for third – even threatening the Blaze.

Wishing for a little more breeze on the final triangle between Trebah, Voose, and Central marks, Phil could do no more than watch the clock unwind to the 90th and final minute from his elevated and comfortable position as the Biggs’ escaped the Blazes fire with seconds to spare

Results:
Juniors: 1St F Walsh-Newton, 2nd R Hosking & B Johns, 3rd E Hosken
Overall: 1st A & K Biggs, 2nd PJ Philpott, 3rd A Hosking

Spring Weekend Series Sunday 9.45am 10th May 2015 : Pursuit S Wind S3-5

It’s a Breeze

Encouraged by a wind forecast set to be strengthening later, Helford’s PY dinghy fleet sleepily set of a little earlier than is usual for a Sunday morning. Chris Broad armed with camera took the family’s RIB out for a rescue duty but was not placed to record the pre race entertainment provided by Andy Biggs’ dunking and Stephen Brooks’ close inspection of Avocets mooring buoy. In complete contrast youth sailors Beks Hosking and Matt Broad set out very impressively in gusty conditions with Beccy Kestin in the 4.7 Laser fleet.

Revelling a breeze, Beccy could not quite find enough of it to hold of Phil Philpott’s charge on the Blaze or the seemingly nonchalant approach of McD’s full rigged laser. Phil Samuel’s reinvigorated sailing with the Solo almost got him to the 4.7, and had there been pedals attached would have made it.

Everyone enjoyed the planeing reaches between Toll and Durgan. Sailing high Brooks was favoured by the gusts and would catch up with Biggsey on the reach but a dipette at Durgan and slothfulness on the beat allowed his quarry to escape. Beks and Matt slogged it out all the race and were only devoured on the penultimate leg with Beks achieving family honours

Results 1st R McDonald 2nd P Philpott 3rd R Kestin Youth 1st R Hosking, 2nd Matt Broad
