Results / Fat Face Racing Circuit Bristol Corinthian SC - 23/03/2002

Fat Face Racing Circuit � RS200 - Bristol Corinthian YC � 23/24 March 2002 Round 2 of the Fat Face RS200 Racing Circuit at Bristol Corinthian YC saw some really memorable racing, some new faces to 200s over the winter really introducing themselves to the front of the fleet, and a devastating performance by Jon Lewis and Paula Hall on Sunday to claim overall victory. 51 200s travelled west to the club that proclaimed at its entrance to be the best in the west, to find a force 2-3 from the east. The wind proved patchy with many slants that meant the leaders always had to be very aware of what was happening just behind them. PRO Ken Falcon was also kept very busy, constantly fine tuning the course to keep it true and by a very competitive fleet pushing hard at starts. Race 1 set the scene, when 5 of the top 10 were sent home at the second mark; OCS at the start. This did not make any difference to Chris Howarth and John Teague from Bristol CYC who already had a good lead, which they extended, to a big margin by the finish. Hamish Calder/Severine Rees Jones in their second RS200 event were always in the leading pack and sailed a crafty race to finish second with Mason Woodworth (helming a 200 for the first time) and Pippa Williams third. Race 2 was Steve Dunn/Dottie Cormack's race. They got the better of early leaders Ollie Holden/Sarah Freestone with Pete Vincent/Trudie Danbury from the host club just getting the better of Simon and Mary Davis. Race 3 in slightly lighter wind was a race long tussle between long time leaders Calder/Rees Jones and Vincent/Danbury. Vincent led at the final leeward mark but Calder managed to break away on the final beat. When the two boats came back together Vincent still had the lead and carefully sat on Calder to the finish with Jon Lewis/Paula Hall rapidly closing in third. Vincent and Calder were joint overnight leaders but both had an OCS; a point very forcibly rammed home when both were OCS on the first race on Sunday, ending their challenge. In a slightly stronger easterly then Saturday, Jon Lewis went into such a large lead in race 4 it was rude. Ian Pickard/Laurie Dunn, after a disaster of a Saturday, clearly had decided to stop mucking around and were equally well clear in second with Woodworth third. Race 5 was almost a repeat performance as Lewis got the leeward end start so right he soon port tacked the fleet and won comfortably. Behind, a very close tussle for second was won by the Davis's with Ralph and Sophie Singleton just beating the Woodards from Wembley. With one race left it was virtually anyone�s event. Lewis and Hall had to be favourites with 1.1.3.9 but had been OCS in race 1 and had to count what ever they finished in the final race. Vincent at last showed he could start to lead at mark 1 with Simon Callow/Tracey Hill (Wembley) and Woodworth in close company. Lewis was sixth and starting to look good for overall victory. As Callow, Woodworth and Vincent swapped places at every mark Lewis was getting closer, finally taking the lead at the final leeward mark. Despite the best efforts of Vincent, second, and Woodworth, third, Lewis won the race to record three race wins on Sunday and overall victory. This was a very emphatic performance by the Lewis/Hall team, who are clearly the form horse in the 200s. Competition is hot though, such experienced campaigners as Calder and Vincent surely will not collect two OCSs again, Dunn and Pickard will learn to be consistent as well as fast; the consistent Singletons and Davis' will always be a threat whilst newcomers Woodworth and Holden can only improve. On top of this the Hewitsons, Derby's and Littlejohn's have not even come out of winter hibernation yet; promises to be quite a year for the RS200 Gul and Fat Face Circuits
