Cadet Nationals at Royal Torbay Yacht Club - Day 4

by David Elliott 19 Aug 2010 13:32 BST 15-20 August 2010

Wednesday produced the toughest conditions so far this week with bands of rain and a strong, biting wind, which made the final stages of the day’s only scheduled race particularly challenging.

Abigail Croft & Alex Page (Frensham Pond) in 8363 On The Edge led the Gold & Silver fleets from the start and made the most of the wind to take victory by a substantial margin. Henry Mills & Robert Keen (Waldringfield) in 8845 Hot Rocks were second throughout, again with a large gap over the following fleet, until a capsize just short of the line and subsequent gear failure saw Andrew Smith & Rory Burdock (Royal Lymington/Frensham Pond) in 9243 Blue String Pudding take the runners-up position. Third were Matthew & Ben Shorrock (Frensham Pond) in 8352 Master Mariner, followed by Matthew Currell & Theo Smith (Parkstone) in 8997 Executrix, Loni Lilienthal & Ben Barr (Corinthian Otters) in 8381 Satisfaction and Ben Binmore & Martha Jones (Royal Torbay) in 8440 Black Otter.

With three races to go, Andrew & Rory retain their lead in the Championship with 16 points, 11 ahead of Ben & Martha, who in turn have a margin of one point over Abigail & Alex.

Sam Cooper & Alex Laidlaw (Frensham Pond) in 9151 recorded their second bullet of the week in the Bronze Fleet. Second were Ross & Johnny Thompson (Frensham Pond) in 9046 and third were Katherine Selfe & Matthew Jayasekara (Stone) in 7280.

Sam Yale & Lottie Passmore maintain their overall lead of the Bronze Fleet with nine points. Sam & Alex are second with 16 and Alex Philpott & Megan Ferguson (Frensham Pond) in 9390 third with 26 points.
