U.K. Cherub 1994 National Championships

This is an old revision of the document!

The Cherub Nationals were hosted by the Yacht Clubs of Weymouth between August 21 & 23, based at Weymouth Town SC, a popular venue rewarded by the best turnout for a number of years, and an Australian presence to sample the current UK Boats

Three short races were held back to back on the first day, in predominantly light conditions. The first race was notable in that Dave Roe saw both his previous boats ahead of him on the first beat. At the finish first place was taken by the elderly light airs flyer Rebel (Howlett) sailed by the Edwards', second was Dave Roe in the Pasta Frenzy, 3rd Mike Chalmers in Norwegian Blue,Dave's old boat, the original Bistro, and 4th were the Walker's in Dave's original boat, Old Peculier (Ellway 3). 5th were the Spens' in another Bistro. With more wind for the second race Dave took an early lead which he held to the end. Second place was closely contested between Simon Roberts (Dog) narrowly ahead of the Spens' and then Graham Dickenson, with Ian Praine taking 5th in another Bistro. A reasonable breeze filled in for the third race and Dave departed for a second win. Graham (2nd) and Simon R (3rd) also had reasonable margins, and the Spens' and Mike and Matt headed the pack for 4th and 5th.

Friday's first race started in a Force 3, and Dave adopted his usual tactic of leading the race from start to finish. Mike and Matt, Graham and Sarah, and Clare and Nick enjoyed a close tussle for second, with Mike holding off Graham after a scrabble round the last mark amongst the 405 fleet that was sharing the course. The second race degenerated into a shortened drift, with Simon and Will Perret going hard right on the beat. Dave & then Mike fended off the challenges, and Simon Roberts took 3rd.

The final day produced a patchy Force 3-4, with the best breeze of the day coming on an exciting run out to the start, with several boats pitchpoling and a broken mast. The left said of the beat paid initially, allowing Dave R, Mike, Graham and Andrew Kinchin to make the running. Dave and Mike took first and second, whilst the battle astern was resolved in favour of Andrew K. Similar conditions prevailed for the last race, where Guy Lewington made a successful port tack start in the venerable Flat Stanley, allowing him to round close behind Dave and ahead of Simon and Graham. Dave Guy and Graham then found a hole on the run, while most of the rest of the fleet sailed out to sea on a gust. Dave fought back for a final win ahead of Mike, with Simon narrowly holding off Andrew K for 3rd, and Graham following in 5th place.
