RS Aero UK Northern Championship - Yorkshire Dales , UK, 15/16 JuneThanks to Philip Whitehead for his summary;
11 RS Aeros turned out at Yorkshire Dales for the RS Aero Northerns Championship at Yorkshire Dales over the weekend 15-16th June.
Saturday started with variable lightish winds. Phil Whitehead won the first race on the water with Keith Escritt second and Ellie third. Ellie won the second race on handicap with Phil the leading RS Aero 7 followed by Keith again. Mike Saul was fourth on handicap (one of many 4ths!).
Keith won the 3rd race on handicap with Ellie second and Simon Byrne third. Race 4 was a little longer with Ellie winning by a good 18 seconds from Phil and Keith who managed to tie for second after an interesting beat to the finish.
After 4 races the evening curry was greeted well. Sunday dawned with forecast for stronger winds which suited Ellie in her RS Aero 6 (surprisingly... though sitting out hard does help !) who won easily on handicap with Keith following, Tim Sadler (of Enterprise fame) and Ed Storey coming into their own.
The wind was building and Keith managed to fend off Ellie by 10 seconds on handicap with Tim and Ed again. The last race was a good force 4 with multiple capsizes, Ellie eventually stormed into the lead sailing hard and smoothly to take the win on the water.
A well deserved win overall by Ellie with the 2 grand masters Keith second and Phil third. A big thanks to our Commodore Lester Mulligan as race officer and team for some great racing. Ellie and her Mother particularly enjoyed the stay over in the Dales with our hot tub provided for the event!
