Racing at the Lake on Sunday was primarily in the hands of seniors
Racing at Hollingworth Lake on Sunday 7 August was primarily in the hands of senior members. Many of the juniors are now away on holiday or at championships.
There was a good westerly breeze that suited Richard and Heather Marsh (RS400) in the first race, with Martin Brennan – as ever – taking second place in his Solo. Ryan Richards, in a Laser, sailed well to take third place, ahead of junior Lauren Marsh in a Topper. Nick Brook, having decided to change his Solo for a Phantom came in fifth. A good start to the change of class.
The second and third races were both won by Martin Brennan, with the Marshs in runner up spot. They were joined for the second race by Chris Massey taking his very young daughter Annabelle out in a Mirror who claimed third place. Lauren Marsh again took fourth place, enough to give her third place overall on the day.
The last race of the day saw Adam Din take Ryan Richards out as crew in the RS200. Rounding a mark, they managed to misjudge the wind and capsized on a gust. They did recover and finished in fifth place. Adam’s younger brother Jacob was out in a Laser and took third place.
Jasper Bramwell is competing this week in the Topper Class National Championship at Weymouth where he has qualified for the Gold Fleet and at time of writing is lying in 35th place out of 110 competitors which is an excellent performance for such a big event.
