#Ic r6 vs ic r2 trial#
Much anticipated after the event was last run in 2019 The last running of this RC Open event was in 2019 so the 2021 version was much anticipated and, although the day was dry, the wind direction was a bit of a trial - it was largely Northerly. Posted on 21 Sep Nick's Knots Trophy at Frensham Pond All boats were check-weighed by Steve Taylor (the IOMGBR Class Technical Officer) fully rigged for sailing with #1 rig and batteries as part of registration.

#Ic r6 vs ic r2 series#
IOM Ranking Series Rounds 5 & 6 at Two Island RYC - photo © Sue Brown Mention must go to James Hadden sailing his very well sorted home built 'Alternative' design of which the plans are available to buy from BG Sails and Design who came 5th on countback.
The two seeding races were again won by Martin Roberts and Rob Walsh but Rob was not going to be as dominant as he was the day before with 5 skippers all up there going into the final 2 races of the day, in the end it was Graham Elliott sailing his BritPOP! who took the day from Rob with John Tushingham sailing his Mark Dicks designed Vision rounding of the podium places. The wind was pretty much from the same direction as the previous day but an awful lot stronger with some fantastic gusts that saw some nose diving and even the odd B rig appear and then disappear as there were still some big holes around the windward marks, the sun also came into play for the day, low in the sky and straight in the skippers eyes at times. Sunday, the final ranking race for 2021 and with a change of PRO, it was Chris Harris who would take charge for the day, he also kindly chartered his yacht to Vernon Appleton for the day. In the evening a surprise 70th Birthday get together was organised for the MYA President Derek Priestley which was a great chance to meet up with old friends and make new ones. It was Rob Walsh that sailed an exceptional day taking six wins from eight races sailing his BritPOP! design, a distant second was Chris Harris with Graham Elliott rounding of the podium positions.
The wind was quite light to start with but built as the day went on with plenty of shifts and gusts for the skippers to navigate. Sailing commenced at 9.45 with the two seeding races before the fleet sailing, the two seeding races were won by Martin Roberts and Rob Walsh.
