Simon Payne tops leaderboard at Moth Worlds . . .
Simon Payne of Britain has moved into the overall lead at the PUMA Moth Worlds in Dubai after three more races were completed Wednesday.

Payne did not win any of the three races but his 3, 4, 3 scoreline added to the earlier 5, 2, 1 results took him two points clear of Brad Funk of the USA. Payne carries a 41 place discard but if sufficent races are sailed there is a second discard, which relieves the pressure.



Winners on the third day were Funk in the first race ahead of Arnaud Psarofaghis of Switzerland and Payne. In the second race Dalton Bergan of the USA was the winner with Australian Scott Babbage in second and Funk third.

In the final race of the day, Psarofaghis took his first win, followed by Funk and Payne, with Bergan in fourth and mirroring the make up of the leading four overall at the end of the day.



Australian Andrew McDougall who lead the first two days has slipped to fifth, but this is the halfway point of the series and there is still a lot of sailing to be done. The championships are still wide open and we have yet to see anyone dominate - Seven races and five different winners! - GJN

Perfect weather for Frensham Pond SC RS200 Open . . .
Roger Gilbert and Jane Willan from the home club won the Frensham Pond SC RS200 Open over the weekend of the Dinghy Show. It seems that whatever date is set for the dinghy show you could almost be guaranteed a perfect sunny sailing day and this was no exception. A bitterly cold crisp wind greeted the small but elite fleet of 12 competitors with a North Easterly blowing at 18-22 knots.

The racing was close with regularly changing places, especially downwind. Correct angles, combined with catching one of the many gusts and shifts secured many place gains and good crew work was vital. The youngest crew on the day, 8 year old Nathan Allen, was very pleased to be in 2nd place at the first windward mark in race one, but his dad Mo lost out on the downwind leg. There were some very entertaining manoeuvres especially at the leeward gate just metres from the nice warm clubhouse.

Gilbert and Willan soon established their dominance though with two wins followed by another in the third race. Second place was close though between Katrina Gilbert and Jenny Rust, and David Royce and Nicola Russell. The latter had to complete a 720 at the spreader mark in the third race dropping from 2nd place to second from the back and made a remarkable recovery back to third with frequent downwind gybing and planing.

The final race saw a slightly depleted fleet and notably longer laps as tiredness set in and Gilbert and Rust secured the win giving them 2nd overall leaving a close 3rd to the first visitors David Royce and Nicola Russell.

First RS500 World Championship to be held in the Netherlands . . .
First World Championships for the newest fully fledged ISAF international class is to be held in perfect skiff country. The Magic Marine RS500 World Championship will take place this summer 15 – 20 August at Aquavitesse, Bruinisse, in the Netherlands.



Registration has just opened and boats have already registered to benefit from a 40% reduction in entry fee before 14 April. Charter boats are also available. For full details about the event and how to entry go to www.rssailing.org/500.

This popular two man, single trapeze boat is renowned for its fun but competitive events and Holland this summer looks to be no exception, with lots of social events booked as well as the fabulous racing area on Grevelingen Meer. This is one of the famous lakes created by the damming off of the North Sea. With a flat landscape the winds tend to be relatively uninterrupted and the water remains fairly flat. Ideal skiff sailing territory! We look forward to seeing all our friends there.

McDougall retains lead after second day of Moth Worlds . . .
Australian Andrew McDougall retains the lead after the second day of the Moth Worlds in Dubai. Breeze was again light, 8 to 9 knots steady breez with all boats foiling.

McDougall won the first race of the day after a postponement for the mist to clear. Second was Britain's Simon Payne, with Tomaz Copi in third place. Race 2 went to Payne ahead of Bora Gulari of the USA and with McDougall finishing 11th, Payne was event leader on the water after three races completed.



The third race of the day changed all that. Brad Funkof the USA won, with McDougall in second and Arnaud Psarofaghis of Switzerland third. Payne picked up a 45 and dropped to 10th overall, at least until the discard kicks in, 15 races are scheduled with two discards if more that eight races are sailed.

McDougall has 15 points with Mike Lennon on 24 and Funk with 25 points. - GJN

RS Feva Sport Relief Mile Challenge . . .
The RS Fevas are proud to be able to participate in the Sport Relief Mile Challenge. A simple format is being adopted during their annual winter Great Gathering.

The All Squads Training Weekend at Hayling Island Sailing Club will involve 70 Fevas from RYA squads and Class Squads, this weekend will be the culmination of the winter training programme for the RS Feva Class and coincides with Sport Relief hence the intensive race training will be briefly interrupted for some fund raising.

On Saturday 20 March it is planned to hold a one mile race with a participation fee of £10 (or more if the sailors can raise extra sums) per boat. The winning helm and crew will win £10 each. This will be presented at the squad dinner by guest speaker Frances Peters (ISAF Youth World Champion 2008). The balance of the participation money will go straight to Sport Relief.

The twist in the story is that the boats from the RYA National Junior Squad and the Class National Squad will have to start from a separate start line 50 yards back. That should make it more exciting with no predictable ‘winner’!

The Fevas sailors think this is a great idea and challenge all other classes to ‘sail the mile’ for Sport Relief as well. It would be great to hear of all the sailing initiatives in support of this most worthwhile cause.





Ideal conditions for RS500 Winter Championship . . .
Alex Taylor and Brian Mobbs won the RS500 Winter Championship at Alton Water SC. The rather smaller than expected fleet was treated to ideal conditions for their championship with a force 3 to 4 easterly wind blowing over the dam wall and bright winter sunshine.

All four races were completed in the crisp conditions with only the final race being shortened on grounds of good behaviour in the chilly conditions. Although the results don’t show it the racing was close and Tim Wilkins and Heather Martin in 625 pushed Alex Taylor and Brian Mobbs all the way.

The down wind sailing in particular was spectacular and tactical. Anna Zmurra and Keith Sykes despite numerous excursions from the upright to horizontal and beyond remained in good spirit and persevered with the conditions to come third.

Australian McDougall takes race 1 on opening day of Moth Worlds
Day 1 of the 2010 Moth Worlds - Australian Andrew McDougall took race 1 on the opening day of the Moth Worlds in Dubai - Mike Lennon of Britain was second and Brad Funk, USA, in third



Conditions proved to be difficult with the fleet spreading far and wide across the horizon. Many struggled to foil resulting in those that did took the lead, as the wind filled in from the right the boats soon sped up. Weight and foiling were definitely a huge factor in finishing places. During the beats the pressure was favoured on left however most sailors to took the right. Downwind paid to sail left as the pressure was stronger.

Dubai Moth Slalom and sailing . . . almost . . .
Jean-Pierre Ziegert provided this video and this report on the Dubai Moth Slalom - We started racing around 2pm for 5 heat. Most of the top guys could get selected - top two. I was in group 4 with Simon Payne.

The start was really light and I could get very quickly on the foils and let every body behind. Simon finishes 2nd. The semi-final was has good for me than the first race. Got the lead and kept it.

So we went in the final slalom race with Bora, Rob, Simon, Dalton and myself. My start was very good, but that was it . . . During it, Rob has kept the first place and Simon was chasing hard. Bora at a mark rounding almost capsize and could still be back on the 3rd place ! Well done guys !

Chris Graham takes UAE Moth Nationals . . .
Local sailor Chris Graham took the UAE Moth Nationals in Dubai after a light weather second day, in complete contrast to the first day, when high speed wipe-outs were the norm. Graham completed a very consistant series in all wind conditions to take the title..



Light winds in the morning postponed the first race of the day. The start finally kicked off at 13:40 in a light 6 knots. A general recall caused the race re-start to be black flagged resulting in 5 Black Flag Disqualifications.

The light wind which progressively tracked right has poised a hurdle for many boats as they have struggled to foil. Mike Lennon won the first race of the day (race 3) with Bora Gulari of the USA second and Graham third.

Race 4 went to Simon Payne, with Graham in second and Gulari in third. In the final race of the day and the series, Dalton Bergen of the USA was the winner with Graham taking second and the title, Adam May took third.

Racing in the Moth Worlds series starts Monday.

Gulari retains US Moth title . . .
International Moth World Champion Bora Gulari successfully defended his US National title at Kaneohe Yacht Club, Hawaii. Runner up was Dalton Bergan, followed by the McKee brothers Charlie and Jonathan.

Gulari will defend his world title in Dubai, in early March. In his blog, Simon Payne comments that; "Gulari seemingly comes with his own news desk. Will the current World Champion go from good to great? Its been a fabulous year for Bora, now an American Idol. Get him to sing "I dreamed the dream" . . . and it could be Susan Boyle."

See below for Simon Says on the prospects for the Moth Worlds . . .

Pete Dives wins Contender Winter Championships . . . .
Pete Dives from Eastbourne won the Contender Winter Championships which took place on the 20th/21st February at Datchet Water. 23 boats made the trip to experience light and fickle conditions on a cold weekend.

Only 1 race was possible on Saturday, won by Mike Murley who led at the top and indeed held that lead to the finish. Dives finished sixth.

Race 2 on Sunday eventually got away and saw the mercurial Murley again at the front along with Peter Dives. In the end Dives pipped Murley and Matt Aston got 3rd with Stuart Jones passing Stuart Hudson on the last beat for 4th.

Race 3 got away under black flag after 1 recall and saw Matt Aston take a big lead not to be relinquished but found he was OCS. Dives was second, Howe 3rd and Gates 4th, which when the OCS was confirmed handed 1st in the last race and the Winter Championship title to Dives.

Murley had 7th in the last race and with all 3 to count finished 2nd overall with Stuart Jones 3rd. Stuart Hudson took 1st in Silver fleet and Ben Falat took 1st in Bronze Fleet.

Simon says . . . Simon Payne runs a caustic eye over the competition
His boat is in a box on its way to the 2010 International Moth Worlds being held at the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club from the 8 - 14 March. But Simon Payne, former World Champion and 5 x European champion has found time run a caustic eye over the competition.



In 1st place, Simon rates Scott Babbage of Australia - I truly think Scott will win. Apparently the organisers will play the "Top Gun" soundtrack in the dinghy park. Of course the first spoken words in Top Gun are "Morning Scott". To me that's a sign. Weakness is that he's hard on boats. Scott hasn't actually sunk yet but there was probably a Babbage on the Titanic.

2nd Place, Arnaud Psarofaghis, Switzerland - Slow starter and needs to be up there from race one if he's to do well. Well prepared with frequent visits to St Tropez to train. On/off Facebook relationship status updates indicate an active winter. Will probably fly if we can get enough fluids back into him in time.

3rd Place, Bora Gulari, USA - Prosperous Professional and seemingly comes with his own news desk. Will the current World Champion go from good to great? Its been a fabulous year for Bora, now an American Idol. Get him to sing "I dreamed the dream".. and it could be Susan Boyle.

4th Place, Dalton Bergan USA - Evidently been working hard. Keeps himself to himself. Being beaten by Bora at events although pedigree would suggest otherwise. Good bloke.

5th Place, Jean Pierre Ziegert Switzerland - JP's gonna be quick! Fast in the light, and like Arnaud training on the French Riveria. Prone to excitement. Can resemble a foilborne version of one of Spielberg's gremlins . . . at its most agitated.

6th Place, Andrew McDougall, Australia - Does age poison us, or do we poison age? Seemingly the latter. 2nd at Sydney International and winner of the Australian Nationals. Faster this year. Will he cope with nature's juggernauts? Those Dubai waves . . .

7th Place, Rob Gough Tasmania - The Tasmanian Devil is the size of a small dog, and like Rob stocky and muscular. Will fight hard for his place and one to watch.

8th Place, Adam May UK - Got an optimist on foils and frankly this result is as optimistic. Only just unpacked from the last Worlds, but he is very good. If its light he could be top three. That Olympic pedigree will come shinning through and you will be looking at his transom.

9th Place, Tomaz Copi. Slovenian 470 star and paragliding champion - Getting his second Mach 2 delivered to the event. 65kg light and could finish much higher up. A real unknown, but the Slovenian for "well done mate" is err.."Dobro mate". Better get used to saying it.

10th Place Mike Lennon UK - Pathological boat bimbler and serial Moth Sailor. Been sailing hard at "Ice Station Zebra" this winter, or Hayling Island SC as we call it in the summer. Done his time and deserves a result. Moderate conditions could put him much higher up.

And Simon? "I will surely be one of the favorites if the ambient air temperature is less than 5 degrees. It has not been higher in the all the training I've done, which isn't much, and when I did sail, I would probably have only scored 5 out of 10. Still we'll see. England expects, but they can expect it of the other English this time can't they lads?"

Broken trapeze wire dashes British challenge in JJ Giltinan final . . .
Britain's Andy Budgen, James Barker and Matt Mc Govern finished in seventh place after a trapeze wire broke in the final race of the JJ Giltinan Championship on Sydney Harbour. They took third place overall behind the new champions, Seve Jarvin, Sam Newton and Tom Clout of Australia.



The final race began with three boats in a head-to-head battle for the championship. Michael Coxon on Thurlow Fisher Lawyers, Project Racing of Budgen and Gotta Love It 7 of Jarvin.

Project Racing won the start and led the fleet to the windward mark. Rob Greenhalgh's Team PSP/Aust-Asia/Benny was in second place with Gotta Love It 7 and John Winning Jr's Appliancesonline.com.au together about 20s from the lead.

Gotta Love It 7 was impressive downwind and challenged strongly for the lead (7s ahead at the bottom mark) but her task was made much easier when one of Project Racing’s trapeze wires broke and the crew had to capsize the boat to fix it.

This left Jarvin with a clear lead over Appliancesonline.com.au and Rag & Famish Hotel, and it was obvious that except for a capsize or rig failure, Gotta Love It 7 was going to take the title.

When her two main opponents could not improve their positions (Project Racing finished seventh and Thurlow Fisher Lawyers eleventh) Gotta Love It 7 was an easy winner.
