Race 1 Results
City of Plymouth Trophy
The registration day and the first race day of the Edwards International 505 Class European Championships have been dominated by rain – what do you expect in Wales in August !.Race 1 was started in 5-6 knots which steadily died during the first beat, Clive Robinson/Gary Cawthorn rounded the windward mark, first after about 45 minutes, followed by Rob Napier/Jonathon Rennie, Debbie Jarvis/Dan Johnson and Paul Lovsey/John Ironmonger.
It’s been a long time since one of the hot favourites Ian Pinnell/Nick Powell have been 20 minutes behind the leader at the windward mark in a 505 race.
After about 6 or 7 boats had rounded the first mark, the wind had dropped so much that is was impossible for any more boats to fight the tide and get round the mark, so the Race Officer, Aubrey Allso, had no choice but to abandon the race which will be resailed tomorrow at 11:00 am.
Stuart Turnball/Jason Lunn were the pathfinders for re-sail of race one, which started promptly at 11:00 am in force 4 south westerly winds. Simon Payne/Bill Masterman passed Ian Pinnell/Nick Powell on the first beat to lead at the windward mark Pinnell/Powell, were second with Dave Smithwhite/Neil Fulcher third.The leading three consolidated their positions to finish in the same order, leaving place changes to the chasing pack. For most competitors the greatest challenge was finding the finishing line, as the last beat was sailed in driving rain with only a few hundred metres visibility.
