Classic Finns at Roadford CVRDA, May 2010


The three day event at Roadford was shortened by the weather. Saturday was good and sunny with a light breeze but was used for a parade, photo shoot and two fun races around the lake. Sunday was lost to strong breezes and so on Monday, although just as windy, three races were held. Nine classic Finns had entered, but only six braved the conditions. Tough beats were rewarded by fast and furious reaches and Finns dominated the CVRDA results, taking all top positions. After CVRDA handicaps were applied Peter Vinton was first in all thhree races, with another Fairey Finn sailed by Mark Belshaw (K129) 2nd, Rob Butler sailing SA470 (a Morrison Finn) 3rd, David Harker (K219, Pearson) 4th, Alan Williams (K424, glass Taylor) 5th and Andrew Wyer (K465, Warwick) 6th.
