Title: Scaling Dam Open 12th Sept
Post by: Tim Gatti on 14 Sep 2009, 03:34
Thanks to Mark Simpson and all at Scaling Dam SC for an efficiently organised Open Meeting on Saturday - the weather was fantastic - a real Indian Summer event.  A full report will I'm sure be appearing in due course so just a brief very well done to Phil David and crew who, in their carbon rigged and ruddered Baggy N3217,stormed away with three wins - increasing their lead over the other competitors as each race developed.  Mark Simpson N3472 and John Cheetham N3468, battled well but in the end had to settle for second and third places.  Howard Chadwick (Design 8 N3356 and Sue Jones (Crusader N3263) had some great racing throughout the day for 4th and 5th places and Seb Gatti (16) and his crew Tace Morgan (14) did very well for their first time out in a Baggy - N3227. If it's as warm and sunny for the Grafham, Ripon and Yeadon meetings we will all be very happy!  Some pics attached of the winners, close encounters at the first windward mark and the first time out Juniors - Seb and Tace.  Tim
