Still grey, but day 2 of the Total Lubmarine Asia Pacific
China Coast Regatta offered up a fabulous 20-25 knots for the IRC fleets, which
turned out in numbers for a trio of Windward / Leeward courses while the HKPN
fleet looked forward to a Geometric and an Islands
course.
With Race Officer Jimmy Farquhar setting a six-leg course
for all IRC divisions, boats, gear and crew were tested to the limit as the
boats gybed, tacked, and broached around the course. As expected, 'Jelik'
headed the fleet for IRC A, with 'Ffree Fire 52' and 'Mandrake' following in
her wake, the Juan K designed Reichel Pugh making short work of the course to
take Line Honours and first place on corrected time. Spare a thought for
Adam Ng on 'Microlab Moonlight Shadow' (ex-Yendys), who retired with rudder
problems and missed the remainder of a great day's sailing.
For the second race of the day, which started in 20 knots,
softening to 16, 'Ffree Fire 52' edged out 'Jelik' on corrected time in Div A
with 'Strewth' taking IRC Premier Cruising ahead of 'Moonblue 2'.
'Mistress Margarita' missed the gun, but edged 'Jaywalker' and 'Stella' out on
corrected time. In IRC C, 'Impala 1' cruised through to take second ahead
of 'Sex Drive'
with 'Sai Kung Belle' in first place.
The final race for the IRC fleets was another Windward/
Leeward course, with a 15-18 knot breeze throughout - 'Jelik' recorded her
second win of the day in IRC A, with 'Strewth' claiming IRC Premier Cruising
and 'Mistress Margarita' strengthening her bid for IRC B with another
first.
