Nine races held

Rob Greenhalgh still out in front at the Rolly's Brownies Moth Nationals

Saturday June 29th 2013, Author: Gareth Davies, Location: United Kingdom

Day 3 of the Rolly’s Brownies Moth Nationals saw the Moth greeted by a 12 knot breeze from the west again, which was to make for perfect race conditions with the sun searing down on the fleet, made for some fantastic sailing.

Not to tempt fate, this could be the first National Championship that will see all 12 races completed. Also with the start of the weekend the fleet has now swelled to 68 Moths.

In Race 7 Tom Offer was OCS. Rob Greenhalgh continued his great pace to take the win from Chris Rashley and Simon Hiscocks in 3rd. 4th place was taken by Eelco Boers who seemed to be loving these conditions in his Ninja. It was great to see boats from three different manufacturers in the top four.

Race 8 got away cleanly and Hiscocks had it all his own way to take the win with Rob Greenhalgh 2nd and Chris Rashley 3rd and Mike Lennon in 4th.

Race 9 was sailed in a fresher 16 knots and on this occasion it was Chris Rashley who showed blistering speed downwind and then went onto to take a well-earned win from Rob Greenhalgh with Ben Paton flexing his guns at last to take third and Mike Lennon fourth. Although this was an Exocet 1st to 4th, there were three different rigs and sails begin used on them.

Everyone is now recovering from a night out in Weymouth, with a great meal of Tapas at the Acqua Beach Hotel on the seafront.
