Perfect sailing conditions for the second day of the Pendennis Cup
By Jason Holtom
Comments
The persistent mist and drizzle that has hung over Falmouth Bay for over a week, for both the J Class regatta and the first day of the Pendennis Cup, finally lifted and the 13 boats of the eclectic fleet were treated to classic Cornish racing conditions with the sun occasionally breaking through the marching lines of clouds coming off the Lizard Peninsular and a steady 15 knots of wind.
Race officer Peter Craig set a slightly shorter course after delaying the start for half an hour to allow the wind direction to settle.
The Pendennis Cup fleet set off upwind with a staggered start of two minute intervals led by the 38m gaff rigged 1915 schooner Mariette with the 61.2m modern schooner Athos last away.
The 34m German Frers sloop Unfurled made rapid progress through the fleet with her billowing Code O offwind sail back on board after overnight repairs by the North Sails sailmakers in the temporary loft set up in Pendennis shipyard.
Taking line honours, four minutes ahead of the 55m schooner Adela, Unfurled also took the handicap prize for the day and is now in the lead overall after two races.
In the Little Dennis class of four classic yachts from 11 to 15m, Ed Dubois helmed his S&S designed 1964 classic racer Firebrand to both line and corrected time honours to lead the class overall.
Thursday is a layday with the owners and VIP guests hosted at the Pendennis shipyard to a Moet & Chandon vintage tasting and lunch.
The final two races of the Pendennis Cup are scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
