Due to a previous engagement, a trip to Rudyard Kipling’s
house’ Batemans’ at Burwash and then to Bodiam Castle, we missed this Streaker
Open Meeting but have taken the liberty to include the Report and Results
provided by Sandra Hill – the BBSC Class Rep – via the SCOA. Also included is a
link to photographs taken at the event by Karen Langston - https://www.facebook.com/groups/171933142816771/permalink/761066093903470/
There was a
great turnout with 15 Streakers on the start line, a warm sunny day and
increasing easterly gusts to force 5, what more could you ask for?
Easterlies as
Bough Beech are notoriously shifty making for a very tactical beat. With it
gusting force 5 hard work up wind was rewarded with an especially high speed
wet second reach and a tricky run.There were 4 races, 3 to count, 2 in the morning back to back and 2 in the afternoon back to back, on a triangle sausage course.
Mike Hobin in
1814 achieved 1st place in all four races making him the clear
overall winner, well done! 2nd place went to Ian Mansfield in 1723
and Mark Langston in 3rd place in 1789.
Amanda Randall
1439 won 1st lady, Rowan Curtis 1664 took 1st youth prize
and the traditional 4th place burgee went to A Reindorp in 1819.
A mention must
be made of Bough Beech Solo sailor Peter Edwards who jumped in to sail 1632,
never having sailed a Streaker before. He finished with an admirable 9th
position overall to win the 1st Bough Beech SC prize, despite
several capsizes and was still smiling at the end of the day, well done!
Thank you to
all the Streakers that travelled many miles to get here, the following are well
worth a mention: Steve Garrett in 1084 travelled an amazing 314 miles (round
trip) followed by Ian Bradley in 1817 260 miles and Mark Langston and Rowan
Curtis each travelling 258 miles.
A great day was
had by all, we hope to see you all again next year when maybe we can improve on
the numbers still further.
