Women's Worlds, & Junior European Championships 2000.

Selector No.2 & Hayling Open April 8th & 9th. Provisional results, 8 races, 2 discards.

Sponsored by www.sailsail.com

As the fleet assembled at Hayling Island the conditions were very different. A gentle force 2 easterly blew out of a cloudless sky as the course was set up in the bay. Elliot Willis won the first race. The wind picked up to marginal trapezing and the second race became a ladies benefit, Victoria and Emma Rawlinson won from Christina Bassedone with Karen Greenland and Julia Scott in third. The wind dropped at the start of the third race and with a strong foul tide progress to the windward mark was painfully slow. With the competitors sailing an inner loop the race was shortened at the end of the run giving Christina Bassedone her first win of the day. The final race of the day was sailed on a course with much shorter legs. Again Christina Bassedone led at all marks for a comfortable win.

Sunday provided a force 4 to 5 northerly with gusts well into force 6 later in the day which created an evil chop in the shallow waters of the bay. The first race was a disappointment for all the competitors except Ian and Chris Martin who spotted and sailed the correct course. The wind and sea conditions caused many capsizes particularly on the run and not just at the back of the fleet. The second race was won by Paul Campbell-James who made up for losing his first in the previous race by a big win. As the wind continued to increase a reduced fleet started the third race which was eventually won after much place changing by Neil Baker and Chris Dodds.

The weekend was won by Christina Bassedone but only after a count back of firsts from Paul Cambell-James. Ian Martin was third.

Taking the 2 weekends together, Paul Cambell-James and Christina Bassedone have established a commanding first and second whilst Ian Martin has just passed Elliot Willis for third. With only 5 definite places in each team and a new ruling that allows the top competitors to participate in more than one team the competition is tight and it all rests on the final event at Sunderland in a fortnight.

Overall after 15 races, 2 discards. (Note: The results for Christina Bassedone for the overall series are awaiting the outcome of a request for dispensation. The result for the Hayling event is not affected.)

1. Paul Cambell-James/Matt Gill 45; 2. Christina Bassedone/Helen Mayhew 69; 3. Ian Martin/Chris Martin 95; 4. Elliot Willis/Sam Richmond 98; 5. Ben Field/Oliver Hawley 115; 6. Mark Rhodes/Nick Hutton 129; 7. Tim Boone/Adam Litchfield 132; 8. Alex Cherry/Paul Burgoine 133; 9. Karen Greenland/Julia Scott 143; 10. Victoria Rawlinson/Emma Rawlinson 145.
