Musto Skiff Nationals at Mounts Bay Sailing Club - Overall
by Rick Perkins 19 Aug 2011 19:20 BST
13-19 August 2011
Following a short delay the fleet set off into a sunny south westerly Force 2-3. Today was a showdown between defending champion Bruce Keen and former 49er National Champion James McIntosh; James held a slim 4 point lead.
After a general recall the fleet got away and at the first mark Keen was leading from Rick Perkins and Matt Hollis; MacIntosh was in 4th. The racing was very tight and at the finish Keen wone from Perkins and McIntosh had pulled through to 3rd.
So with one race to go McIntosh has seen his lead cut to just 2 points; all on the final race. The fleet started cleanly and again Keen lead at the windward mark from Andy Peake and Rick Perkins; McIntosh was 4th; this was a championship winning sequence for Keen but McIntosh sailed well to move into 2nd at the end of the first lap and then actually into the lead for the finish with Keen 2nd followed by Dan Vincent.
A great win for James McIntosh sponsored by Harken.
A big thank you to all the volunteer members of MBSC who gave up their free time to run the championships for the class. Also a huge thank you to the class sponsors; Musto, Ovington Boats, Harken and Hyde.
The focus now moves to the next 2011 event which is the European Championships being held in Portorož (Slovenia) with pre-entries approaching 50 already.
Next year’s UK nationals will be a 3 day event held at Stone Sailing Club as a warm up to the main event for 2012 which will be the World Championships which is being held for the first time in the UK at Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy. This will be the last championships they host prior to the Olympic Games and will give sailors from around the world the chance to experience the Olympic venue at a peak state of ready ness; will this be the first Musto Skiff Championships to exceed 100 boats ...?
