Seventeen RS 200s gathered at Queen Mary Sailing Club to dust off the cobwebs at the first event of the season and Round 1 of the newly formed Sailing Chandlery East and South East Area (EaSEA) Tour.
The crews that enjoyed an excellent day of coaching on Saturday with David Jessop and Will Taylor were no doubt excited to test their newly improved technique against several top crews who joined us for the racing. The boats rigged and launched down the rather steep slipways to a lovely 13kts, if slightly grey day. The course was a windward-leeward which we were sharing with the 400s.
Congratulations to Will Taylor and Richard Thomas for winning the event. Their downwind speed edge saw them through against tough competition from reigning inland champions Ben and Lorna who were probably the fastest upwind. It is good to see we had the best in the business for the Saturday coaching! Thanks go to Queen Mary sailing club and Race Officer Paul Stainsby for laying on a fantastic day of racing and Sailing Chandlery for providing the prizes.
The Sailing Chandlery EaSEA tour has big Easter plans. Round 2 is at Netley SC on Good Friday 7th April and for Round 3 we join the Waldringfield 200 fleet for the Easter Egg on 9-10th April. Entry for both events is open and you can find all the details via the calendar on the class website.
