Irish RS200/400 Inlands 2012 - Lough Ree SC
The RS400, RS200 and RS Feva traveller series kicked off this weekend in the idyllic surrounds of Lough Ree YC.
A brisk North-Easterly blowing down the Lough greeted the RS teams on Saturday morning. The conditions were made tougher with a sharp chop, heaped up by the gusty conditions. Not “ploughing the bow” into the waves was the key to upwind speed. Remaining in full planning mode and keeping the show on the road in the gusts was the order of the day downwind.
Race officer Vincent Rafter and event organiser Donal Herraghty did a fantastic job to squeeze four windward leeward races in on Saturday in anticipation of the gale-force winds that led to Sunday’s racing being cancelled. The quick turnaround between races was greatly appreciated by everyone on the water.
In the RS200’s it was Sean and Heather Craig from the Royal St George who came up trumps with a perfect score card of four firsts. The battle for second place was tight, with Clive Coffey and Helen Cassidy from Newcastle Yacht Club edging out the Royal St George father and son pairing of Ian and Tom Simington on count back.
Photos of the event will be posted this week at http://www.lryc.ie/. Visit www.irishrs.com for details on upcoming Irish RS Traveller events.
