Ripon open meeting

 

Vintage National 12’s Come Out to Play at Ripon SC
 
Ripon SC hosted a Vintage National 12 meeting on Saturday 15 May, and competitors were greeted with a brisk breeze and sunshine which promised great sailing for those taking part and plenty for the spectators to enjoy too.
 
The first race was sailed on ‘scratch handicaps’ and the RO team led by Brian Miatt set the fleet a triangular course which kept them close together and made excellent use of the lake and the wind direction.  The race was won by Philip David/James Devney in N2545.  Brian Kitching and Christine Marshall (N1657) fought hard to take second place, racing ‘nip and tuck’ with Bernard and Ellie Clark (N2149) who were third.  The places throughout the fleet changed right up to the last minute with everyone enjoying some close racing.  The fleet made the most of lunchtime – celebrating Brian Herring’s birthday with cake and bubbly.

This being a ‘Derwent Handicap’ style event for the 12’s, the handicaps were adjusted over lunchtime to take account of 1st race performance, which saw David/Devney penalized with a 4 ½ minute delay on their start.  Clark and Kitching took a 3 minute penalty.  Martin and Matt Clarke, sailing the newly launched N2306, had missed much of the first race through gear failure but showed great form to take the race from Howard Chadwick/Helen Nicholson (N2266).  Clark and Clark took 3rd place.  David/Devney chased hard but filling up at the gybe mark was to cost them any chance of contention.
 
Handicaps were adjusted again for the final race, which saw Clark and Clark overhaul the fleet to take a lead from halfway through the race which was not challenged.  Birthday boy Brian Herring and crew Ros Stevenson (N2468) took 2nd place with David/Devney taking 3rd.
