Rooster National Tour, Race and Train, Bristol Corinthian
The forecast blue skies, sun and some wind turned out to be true and the 500 sailors that travelled up to Cheddar were not disappointed.
Saturday saw 5 races packed into around 4 hours, all thanks to the precision race management of Arkie and team.
With the breeze coming notionally from the gorge direction throughout, but plenty of differences in pressure over the course there was plenty of chances for gains to be made (and some losses when things didn't turn out quite so well).
The results turned out to show a consistent streak however with 5 race wins for Hugh Watson and Ian Mairs, a new team only paired for the first time at this event. Taking the 3rd place helm and 2nd place crew from the 2022 Worlds was always likely to be a winning combination.
A warm welcome must go to John and Fran new to the 500 fleet who have moved over from an extensive racing past in the 4000 class. They will surely be quick once they get to grips with some of the finer details of the class.
Sunday provided an opportunity for some coaching, where Ian Mairs took the 3 other boats through some 3 boat tuning on upwind and downwind legs. Let's hope that will make for some speed improvements for those attending the Noble Marine Nationals at Hayling in a little over 2 weeks time.
Thanks to Ian Mairs for the coaching and to all the volunteers at Bristol Corinthian.
