Holt Fireball World Championships at Teignmouth - Days 2 & 3

A late sea breeze fills in on day two of the Holt Fireball worlds at Teignmouth © www.fotoboat.com

After the excitement of a stiff force five breeze on Sunday, it was back to waiting for sea breezes to fill in on Monday morning. It was not until early afternoon that the wind filled in and allowed Race Officer Mike Pearson to set a fair course.

With the Fireball fleet now getting to grips with the idea of line starts with 176 boats on the line once again they managed to get off first time. (Becoming a bit of a habit!).

The four boats of Tim Rush and Fred Sotteau, DJ Edwards and Dan Newman, Chips Howarth & Vyv Townend and the South African pairing of Justin Clark and David Aymes made the best starts and lead most of the way up the first beat. Justin and David were eventually forced to tack off to the right as they got squeezed by the other boats.

At the Windward mark the Czeck boat of Tomas Musil & Jan Stantejsky tried to sneak in from the port lay line but ended up having to duck the leading group of boats.

Having been forced right it was Justin and David who were on the inside of the lift and lead around the windward mark. Positions remained the same down both reaches. However on the second beat Justin and David were forced to do a 720 penalty turn for illegal body movements. With DJ and Chips keeping close cover on each other Tim Rush and David Aymes were left free to head across to the right and take the lead.

On the final beat DJ and Chips were still keeping close cover on each other this time allowing Guy Tipton & Chriss Tattersall to sneak into second place. On the finish line DJ and Dan tried to sneak through on Port just in front of Chips & Vyv, but he did not quite make it allowing Chips and Vyv to take third while DJ and Dan did a 720.
