Sonntag, 14.8.05

176 Boote am Start. 2 Läufe. Leider kein Auftakt nach Mass der SUI Boote. Beste waren Duvoisin / Grob (33-6), dann Venhoda / Zaugg (23-27), Scheller / Sauer (92-111), Huber / Mauchle (177(vielleicht BFD)-40), Suter / Schluchter (119-126). Man kann gespannt sein auf ihre Kommentare. Souverän in Führung liegen Musil / Stantejsky (CZE), die Europameister 2004 und 3. dieser EM, vor Smith / Mildred (GBR), Weltmeister 2004 und Howarth / Townend (GBR), Weltmeister 2003. Man ist unter sich ... .

Kurzer SMS Kommentar von Kuk: Es war Gorillawetter, 2 - 7 Bft., sehr böig und drehend. Dudu glänzt im 2. Lauf mit einem 6. Platz. Adi erwischts beim Starten mit 'Black Flag'.

Montag, 15.8.05

Der Leichtwind ist zurück. Seebrise um 3 Bft. Von den geplanten 2 Läufen war aber nur einer möglich. Die SUIs leider nicht in der Spitze. Beste bleiben Duvoisin / Grob auf dem 17. Zwischenrang (heute 32), 20. Venhoda / Zaugg (29), 77. Huber / Mauchle (102), 96. Scheller / Sauer (101), 129. Suter / Schluchter (124).
Weiterhin an der Spitze verbleiben Musil / Stantejsky (CZE) (11), dahinter Howarth / Townend (GBR) (3) und Smith / Mildred (GBR) (7).

Dienstag, 15.8.05

Wetter sehr schön, sommerlich, aber kein Wind. Keine Rennen möglich. Morgen ist Ruhetag, also auch keine Regatten. Es bleibt bei den drei bisherigen Läufen und der Führung von Musil / Stantejsky (CZE).

Mittwoch, 17.8.05

Ruhetag. Es wehte auch heute kein Lüftchen.

Donnerstag, 18.8.05

Von den geplanten 3 war schliesslich nur 1 Rennen ab 18:30 Uhr bei ruppigen 4-6 Bft. möglich. Duvoisin / Grob rundeten die Luvboje zweimal mit grossem Vorsprung, konnten diesen aber leider nicht halten und fielen noch auf den 8. Rang zurück. Damit sind sie in der Zwischenrangliste nach 4 Läufen 13. Die Platzierungen der anderen Schweizer sind nicht grad das Erhoffte: Huber / Mauchle 56. (gesamt 66), Venhoda / Zaugg 63. (31), Scheller / Sauer 94. (92) und Suter / Schluchter 151. (136).
Die Führung hat gewechselt: Smith / Mildred (GBR), die Titelverteidiger, an der Spitze, die bisherigen Leader Musil / Stantejsky (CZE) sind auf Platz 3 verdrängt. Rang 2 belegen Howarth / Townend. Ein Bericht (e).

Freitag, 19.8.05

Immer noch der ablandige, drehende Wind mit 2-5 Bft. Noch zwei Rennen konnten gefahren werden, so dass wenigstens 6 Läufe über den Titel entschieden. Chips Howarth / Vyv Townend (GBR) erkämpften sich zum Schluss die Krone, nach 2003 zum zweiten Mal. Dahinter Andy Smith / Jonny Mildred (GBR), 3. Guy Tipton / Chris Tattersall (GBR).

Duvoisin / Grob schaffen es als beste SUI auf den 16. Platz, Venhoda / Zaugg liegen auf Rang 44, Huber / Mauchle Rang 52, Scheller / Sauer Rang 101, Suter / Schluchter auf Rang 125 und schliesslich Trötschler / Trötschler auf Rang 146.

WM Bericht auf sailpower.com vom 31. August 05:

Some said it couldn't be done, some even said it shouldn't be done but the Fireball class decided to sail as a huge, single fleet with line starts for the 2005 Holt Fireball World, National and European Championships, rather than gate starts. There was a total of 119 entries for the UK National and European Championship and a record-shattering 176 entries from 12 countries for the World Championship.

The Teign Corinthian Yacht Club in Teignmouth, Devon hosted the event. Sponsorship came from Holt, Winder sponsored boat ,Speed Sails, Typhoon International, Brigantine Chandlery Living Heritage (marquee supplier), Wychwood Brewery, Teignbridge District Council and The Met Office. This sponsorship provided excellent prizes throughout the fleet, which was seeded into gold, silver and bronze classifications. Daily prize giving and morning briefings kept the competitors together and a comprehensive social programme ensured enjoyment for all, irrespective of results.



 

Holt Fireball World Championships



A mega-fleet of 176 Fireballs from the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Kenya assembled for the Fireball World Championship in Teignmouth. The entry list including many champions of the Fireball and other classes. During the first week the competitors had got to grips with 119 boat line starts, but now the start lines were set to get really interesting.

Sunday - Race 1. An offshore Force 4-5, blue sky and sparkling sea greeted the competitors, but the committee boat had problems with a dragging anchor. The first start had an 'I' flag and general recall, the black flag came out for the restart with another general recall. At the third attempt, they got away with Chips Howarth and Vyv Townend (GBR) gaining an early lead.

At the first gybe mark John Curzon and Pete Elver were second, Sam Mettam and Richard Anderton third. The prize for giving most entertainment value goes to Elaine and Graham Slater for the most spectacular capsize. Howarth and Townend won, followed by Mettam and Anderton and Musil and Stantejsky.

Race 2 - the race officer made the most of the wind, and a couple of general recalls later race 2 started. A win for Andy Smith and Jonny Mildred, ahead of Edwards and Newman and Musil and Stantejsky.

Monday - Race 3 - a clean start and Tim Rush and Fred Sotteau (FRA) got to the front followed by Edwards and Newman and Howarth and Townend. Close covering of the opposition meant that the leading boats were giving the opportunity for others to sneak in. Rush and Sotteau lost their lead, Justin Clark and David Aymes (RSA) got the shifts right to lead, but incurred a 720 penalty for pumping the wire. With Edwards and Howarth having their own 'match race', Rush and Sotteau won, Tipton and Tattersall second, Howarth and Townend third, Edwards and Newman fourth.

Tuesday - no wind - no racing but a big night in the Fireball village with a band sponsored by the Fireball Dentists association.

Wednesday - lay day

Thursday - Race 4 - determination and staying power by the race officer meant a scheduled start of 12 noon turned into an actual start after 5pm. It had been a long wait, but eventually the wind kicked in as the Met Office had said it would! The predicted Force 4-5 had arrived, and with it, there would be a number of breakages. The race was first lead by the Swiss team of Frederic Duvoisin and Laurent Grob, but they were overtaken by Andy Smith and Jonny Mildred who notched up their second win of the championship. Paul Cullen and Johnathan Ching (GBR) finished second, Penny and Ian Gibbs (GBR) third.

The evening entertainment was organised by the Canadian fleet to promote the 2006 Worlds in Victoria, British Columbia.

Friday - Race 5 - before going on the water, those at the top of the fleet were glued to the race results, working on their strategy for the final day. The race officer planned to get 2 races in, the first would trigger the discard and that would turn the result board around. The 2004 World Champions Smith and Mildred were leading the results at the end of day 5, with Howarth and Townend a close second. In the fresh force 4, local sailors Malcolm Davies and Ian Cadwallader took their chance and won, in a 19 year old boat, ahead of Dave Wade and Richard G Wagstaff (GBR) and Howarth and Townend. Smith and Mildred got stuck in the pack, finishing 23rd, this gave Howarth and Townend some security going into the final race.

Race 6 - with time edging away and the wind dropping, this would be the final race of the championship. Edwards and Newman took an early lead which they held to win the race, followed by Guy Tipton and Chris Tattersall (GBR), Musil and Stantejsky 7th place for Howarth and Townend being enough to win the title.

And so the largest ever Fireball World Championship concluded. The prize-giving ceremony included a splendid soul band and impressive firework display. The event will surely be remembered for the huge entry, the close racing throughout the fleet, a spectacular sight that will never be forgotten. The massive line starts proved successful and fair, once the competitors and race team had got their heads around them.

The only disappointment was that the bottle of vintage champagne, promised to the first boat to amass 1,000 points, went un-awarded because only 6 of the scheduled 10 races were completed. The beach team led by Derek Wyatt launched and recovered the fleet in a short space of time and with the minimum amount of fuss.
