Solo National Championships and Nations Cup East Lothian Yacht Club 2nd – 7th August Sponsored by Winder Boats, Allen Brothers Ltd and North Sails Day 1 70 entrants were greeted to glorious sunshine and a Force 5 gusting 7 on the harbour wall. Race Officer Bill Roberts wisely decided to postpone the start for 2 hours, allowing racing to go ahead in a reduced Force 4 gusting 5. Race 1; City of Plymouth Trophy A port biased line, with a desire by the fleet to be out of the tide, led to 4 general recalls under the black flag, before the race finally got under way. Charlie Cumberley (Teign Corinthian SC) took and early lead which he held to the end, however places behind him were hotly contested with finally Robbie Wilson (Wormit SC) taking 2nd and Steve Cockerill (Stokes Bay SC) 3rd. Race 2; Jack Holt Trophy A change of course from Trapezoid to Olympic caught some competitors by surprise, missing the windward spreader mark. A longer run was also made more exciting by a slight increase in wind strength. Andy Davies (Chase SC) took an early lead however in taking a flier on the second beat, went out to the right, allowing Jim Hunt (Sutton SC) through to take the lead, which he held to the finish. Andy held on to take 2nd place from Charlie Cumberly who finished 3rd after overhauling several boats. After two Races the top overall positions are 1st Charlie Cumberly 2nd Jim Hunt 3rd Andy Davies 4th Steve Cockerill 5th Alister Morley 6th Kevan Gibb 7th Lee Sydenham 8th Simon Hoult 9th Andrew Bonsey 10th Ian Pinnell Our thanks to Fotoboat who are covering the event, and who assure us they have some great photographs from day 1. full results are available on East Lothian Yacht Club web site, www.elyc.org.uk/results/results09solonational.mht | |

| Solo National Championships and Nations Cup East Lothian Yacht Club 2nd – 7th August Sponsored by Winder Boats, Allen Brothers Ltd and North Sails Day 2 Sailors were greeted by another day of champagne sailing conditions, and with the wind from the east a nice swell provided some great surfing conditions. Race 3 Brixham YC Trophy In a repeat of yesterday most players picked the committee boat end to start, which resulted in the one and only general recall of the day. In the restart, Andy Davies took the lead early on after tacking inshore straight away and was never caught, winning the race by a huge margin. Both Charlie Cumbley and Jim Hunt were blacked flagged in this race, with Robbie Wilson taking 2nd place and Ian Pinnell 3rd. Race 4 Association Cup Whilst most of the fleet tried for the Committee boat end again, Charlie Cumbley starting a third of the way down the line went left, and then tacked onto a lifter and crossed the fleet. He was never caught, however the following pack fought long and hard for 2nd and 3rd positions, and after redress for damage caused in a collision, Robbie Wilson and Andrew Bonsey shared 2nd place with 2.5 points and Jim Hunt in 4th. Overall results to date and subject to Protest with one discard to count are as follows with full results available on East Lothians YC web site.elyc.org.uk 1st Charley Cumbley Teign Corinthian 2nd Robbie Wilson Wormitt 3rd Andy Davies Chase 4th Jim Hunt Sutton 5th Stephen Cockerill Stokes Bay 6th Lee Sydenham Chichester 7th Kevan Gibb Largo Bay 8th Andrew Bonsey Northampton 9th Alister Morley Salcombe 10th Chris Brown RYA Author Mike Ball | |

| Solo National Championships and Nations Cup East Lothian Yacht Club 2nd – 7th August Sponsored by Winder Boats, Allen Brothers Ltd and North Sails Day 3 5th August Race 5 Mountfield Cup After a morning of rain squalls the weather settled in time to allow a good race into a F2-3 Easterly. A slightly choppy sea on top of a reasonable swell made the first beat challenging, with Alister Morley first round the windward mark, closely followed by Charlie Cumbley. Charlie managed to obtain an overlap on Alister at third mark, and took the lead, never to be challenged. With a building swell the reach across the bottom of the trapezoid course gave some exciting surfing, with many places won and lost. Race 6 Severn Sailboats Trophy With a large front moving through the area, the wind became very variable, both in direction and strength, and after 5 recalls the race was eventually abandoned. A pod of at least 6 dolphins gave a great display of how to surf properly to a lucky few helms whilst waiting for the conditions to settle between starts. Helms are very grateful for the Sponsors prizes, which are being distributed day by day from the bottom of the fleet upwards. Overall results to date and subject to Protest with one discard to count are as follows with full results available on East Lothians YC web site.elyc.org.uk 1st Charley Cumbley Teign Corinthian 2nd Jim Hunt Sutton 3rd Andy Davies Chase 4th Robbie Wilson Wormitt 5th Stephen Cockerill Stokes Bay 6th Lee Sydenham Chichester 7th Alister Morley Salcombe 8th Chris Brown RYA 9th Kevan Gibb Largo Bay 10th Andrew Bonsey Northampton Author Mike Ball | |
