Martin Dale Cup 2013 - RG65 Competition

Eight skippers assembled for the first race in the Martin Dale Cup RG65 series, four invited guests from around the local Midlands clubs and four Abington Park MYC members. Once the formalities of scrutineering were over with, each skipper presenting his A Rig (largest) for some check measurements to be done, the racing officer of the day announced a simple upwind down wind course with a wing buoy on the first trip round. As it turned out it was just as well that the course was simple as the wind was anything but! changing direction frequently and going from very light to include heavy squalls as various weather fronts passed over us.
Inevitably this made rig selection difficult with most opting for a B rig to start, the either changing up or down as the conditions dictated. As expected Paul Risdale & Graham Stanley were once again at the front with other skippers occasionally challenging when conditions suited their sail hull configurations, Paul eventually won through pipping Graham to the event win by just two points, Peter Shepherd & Mark Beesley finished on the same points, Peter taking third place on count back courtesy of two late race wins when he went early onto a C Rig.
Peter Jackson was going better today and had a purple patch in races 11 & 12 taking wins from Paul in both races, and finishing the day in 5th place, Mike Ewart also took a win and was placed 6th. The final two places going to Abington Park MYC members Norman Hardy & Dave Lissaman.
Thanks to all who took part for the friendly spirit with which they did so in what proved to be testing conditions.
We look forward hopefully to seeing you again at the next event in this series on Sunday 2nd June.
