Dinghy Regatta: June 30th

Download PDF

Regatta  Sunday 30th June   Westerly 2-4  PY Fleet Trapezoid,   Fevas Windward Leeward

Regatta Success

50 Sailors throughout Cornwall gathered for a 9am race briefing on Sunday for Helford’s annual dinghy regatta.   Two no shows debilitated by pillow Feva & lack of Enterprise did release crew for Anton Chamberlain in his Comet and David Blanning in safety.

Captain Dinghies Andy Biggs and his family of race stewards could not have hoped for more favourable conditions in a series of 4 races – 3 to count.  A Westerly force 2-4 suited the tiny little Optimist of Jack Lawrence to the blistering 20+mph downwind pace of Bob Warren’s RS400.

The renowned & sprightly Stephens family of Penzance SC sailing Mirror dinghies swept the board with Gold, Silver and 1st female in the PY Fleet.

Fevas are the modern junior introduction to fast spinnaker sailing.  First under starters orders were 9 RS Fevas competing in the RYA OnBoard traveller’s series slogging their way in to the upriver wind before launching spinnakers on the exhilarating downwind.  Young helms Charlie Pursall and Rachel Thomas swapped the lead back and forth all day snaffling 1st & 2nd

Showing her stamina and agility HRSC Rebekah Hosking in her second regatta of the weekend partnered Lauren Weaver for the first time in a brand new club Feva achieving a creditable 6th.  Their fathers Andrew and Garth, not wanting to be left onshore, took the opportunity to discover the finer points of Laser 2 sailing – rising up the fleet as the wind built in the afternoon.

Oliver Chamberlain in Pico committed sailing parricide on his father as did Sam Philpott in Opi beating his parents Graduate.  Amongst the PY Lasers Josh Redgrave (4th) in not colliding with marker buoys or RYA OnBoard officer Mark Belshaw’s pristine Classic Finn (5th) showed how to get the best from a Radial rig over Emily Broad and Sam Hubbard’s battering 4.7’s.

Thrills – but no (obvious) spills came from the RS400s with team Berryman & Bolitho besting McDonald’s and Philpott’s challenge.  Despite physical superiority on the beat B&B were unable to match the eloquence of Bob Warren & Vicky Bridger downwind.

Commodore Julian Samuel with Guest photographer Nick Glossop made the best of poor trade in safety with a record 150 snaps.  Julian was pleased to welcome tired but elated sailors to the prize giving and thanking Andy & Karen Biggs for their magnificent efforts in organising the day.

Feva Travellers:  1st Charlie Pursall & Alistair Ross,  2nd Rachel Thomas & Ruth Smith,  3rd James Dowrick & Luke Bilbey.
