IOM Phoenix Trophy 15th October 2017 Leeds & Bradford
IOM Northern District Summer Series Round 6
Thirteen IOM with Six visitors from both sides of the Pennines and from the
Northern and Midland District entered the Rotherham leg of the Summer
Series at Harthill reservoir on Sunday 24 th September 2017.The wind was south
easterly 5 to 9 mph with sunny periods. It was an off shore and coming over
the club house and the trees, so leaving a tricky rounding of the windwood
mark.
All the starts were fairly good and getting a good start was essential so that
you could get a good beat to the windwood mark. It was close sailing at the
windwood mark for all the skippers but the more experienced were able to pull
away on the reach and run.
The first two races saw Dave Burke (Britpop Lincoln)and Craig Raistrict (MX16
Rotherham) setting the pace with Shaun Holbeche (Alternative Fleetwood) in
3 rd spot.
The 4/5/6/7 races were dominated by Craig Raistrict (MX16 Rotherham) with
Shaun Holbeche (Alternative Fleetwood) a close second and Roger Errington
(V8 Killingworth) third. These three seem to have mastered the conditions
better than the others at this stage.
At 12.20pm the Rotherham famous Pie/Peas were served with homemade
apple crumble to follow. After lunch saw Craig Raistrict loose a little
concentration so letting Shaun Holbeche in with David Alston (V9 Leicester).
Wind got up mid-afternoon which brought some of the other competitors into
the equation, so racing generally got closer so generating more competition,
but Craig Raistrict .Simon Robinson (V8 Killingworth) and Rodger Errington (V8
Killingworth) managed to stay in the top three.
Races 13/14.15/16 Craig took control again and notched up three !sts and one
third. With Simon Robinson (V8 Killingworth) just getting into the stride of
things chasing Craig to the finish.
The fleet were law abiding and penalties were few and competitors enjoyed
some good racing and the banter was good.
!st Craig Raistrick. 21points. 2 nd Shaun Holbeche 32 points 3 rd Simon Robinson
73points.
