The Bell Lawrie Scottish Series 2002. 
Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Scotland. 
Day 5 - Final Day. 

Hamish Mackay and a core crew of Scottish ex dinghy racers repeated their
success of last year to retain the overall Bell Lawrie Scottish Series. In
the 28 year history of the north of Britain's premier regatta Mackay
becomes only the second helm ever to retain the trophy in successive years
after Simon Pender won back to back in 1988 in a Sonata, Red Hot Poker, and
then again in 1989 in the Sigma 33 in St Joan.

Mackay and his team sailed with owner Andrew Mitchell on his Elan 333,
Elanor, which was new just last year to win the 195 boat regatta's biggest
class, IRC Class 3.

Posting three first places, two seconds, a third and a fifth to win their
24 boat division the crew of Elanor needed to sail their nearest
opposition, Donald Sharp's X332 Tundra, back down the fleet today to be
sure of winning their class.

Having achieved this, leaving Tundra to a 10th place, Elanor fought back to
fifth, their worst result in their final scoreline and one which might well
have jeopardised their chances of winning the overall trophy.

"That's the way it is here. We had to sail to secure the class win today
and then if you win the overall trophy then that's just the bonus. We never
thought we would have had much of a chance again, but you never know quite
what to expect. It was a hard class to win, tougher than last year, with
some very well sailed boats." Mackay, an ex 470 and Soling Olympic
campaigner.

Elanor's tactician Dave Kelly, an ex Laser Scottish champion, confirmed
that Loch Fyne had lived up to its reputation as a mentally tough place to
sail.

"It is somewhere that you always have to be conservative, and so it is
very hard to keeping banging in the really top scores all the time, and
hence why it is really not possible to go out to win the main prize."
In what could be regarded as the regatta's toughest classes, the four IRC
Handicap Classes, the 1720 Cork One Designs and the Sigma 333's, all went
right to the wire.

In IRC 1 a David and Goliath match race developed at various stages between
Bob and Bairbre Stewart's 40 foot Dubois designed Dublin boat Azure and the
65 foot Swan ketch of Richard Loftus, Desperado.

As Dave Ovington's Mumm 30 ran out the day's winner and both Desperado and
Azure finished with their worst scores of the regatta, the class win
overall was Azure's by just two points.

For their first trip up to the series since winning the Sportsboat class
three years ago on a little 25 foot Beneteau sportsboat the team skippered
by Nigel Biggs on Crewsaver Dickies Yacht Sales, a Beneteau 36.7, won Class
2 with five first places and two second places and must have been serious
contenders for the overall Trophy.

The Sigma 33 class went in to the final race with both Ian Nicolson's St
Joan and Kevin Aitken's The White Tub equal on points. Steered by the
double Scottish Series winning helm Pender, they hunted down The White Tub
and sailed back into the thick of the fleet.

Anthony O'Leary escaped back to Cork with the 1720 class overall win after
a miraculous recovery in the final race. They came back from 10th to fifth
to win overall from Tarbert helm Ruaraidh Scott on King Quick, which has
now finished second for three years in a row.

The Bell Lawrie Scottish Series 2002. 
Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Scotland. 
Day 4. 

Loch Fyne beat the forecasters, serving the 195 competing yachts at The
Bell Lawrie Scottish Series up a peach of a Highland spring day of fluffy
clouds and sunshine, but with the modest breeze blowing from the west - off
the Kintyre shore - it was riddled with shifts in direction and strength. 
Racing across the picturesque Loch the action was at its most intense.
Where the 21 boat 1720 fleet, the 21 boat Sigma 33 fleet and the
Sportsboats raced together on the same windward leeward loop the turning
marks saw a virtually continuous stream of boats rounding throughout their
three short, sharp races.  

The wind shifts dealt out some tough lessons to the leaders and some golden
opportunities for those chasing. 

After a string of wins in IRC Class 4 the Strangford Lough based DB2
Raparee 2 had only one discarded 12th to blemish their scorecard and was
among the top tips for the overall Trophy. Today their form slipped in the
shifty breeze and a seventh and a third means they are now locked on a 14
points aggregate tally along with the Sigma 362 Significant, and so may now
be out of the running for the overall Scottish Series Trophy.
 

The destination of the overall trophy is now very open. Being a subjective
decision made by the sponsors and the Clyde Cruising Club's senior flag
officers it is never easy to second guess whether it will be a string of
wins in a softer, smaller  class which earns the main prize, or consistent
podium places and the odd blemish in a tough division. 

IRC Class 3 is the domain of the current trophy holders, Hamish Mackay and
his team on an Elan 333 Elanor, past Scottish Series trophy winner John
Highcock on Salamander XVI, sister-ship of the Slovenian built Rob
Humphreys' design, the X332 Tundra which is steered by owner Donald Sharp,
2001's Clyde Master Helm, and international bowman turned co-owner Jimmy
Houston and a good crew on the Jeanneau Sun Fast 37 2 Sassy. 

Mackay and his crew faltered in the first race today after the wind shifted
right when they were out to the left on the first leg and earned a
discarded sixth, but they came back with their third win of the series so
far in the second contest and so lead the class by two points. 
" It's a good, hard class to win with any of three or four boats which can
win races, so were are just glad to be staying up there and leading the
class." Commented Elanor's tactician Dave Kelly. 

In the 1720 Class Anthony O'Leary's Cork crew on Ford Racing, who took
third at last Autumn's European Championships and had never sailed on Loch
Fyne before until this week, still lead the class after counting a 4th and
a 2nd today. They stared with a 15th in the first of their three heats
today, which they discarded, but it could prove a punishing burden if they
make any serious errors tomorrow. Mike Budd's Gul lies in second with local
helm Ruaraidh Scott lying third. Any one of these three boats could win the
class tomorrow. 

Two wins for Bob and Bairbre Stewart's Azure, the Dubois 40, in what were
very much their preferred conditions,  4 -15 knots of wind, earned them the
overall lead in IRC Class 1. In contrast it was not a great day for the
heavier Swan 65 Desperado who dropped to second overall. 

Class 2 is still tight too. Nigel Biggs and Pete Evans on the Beneteau 36.7
Crewsaver Dickies scored a first and a second today and lead by just two
points from Hamish Oliphant's 1995 build Corby 35, Highland Spirit. Their
first and third for day keeps them just two points behind the Beneteau.

Day 3. 

The visiting English Swan 65 Desperado owned by Richard Loftus leads the
big boat class, IRC Class 1 after their third day of racing at the 195 boat
Bell Lawrie Scottish Series on Loch Fyne. 

With lighter and more unsettled breezes today Loftus and his team relied on
astute tactics and slick crew work to keep the substantial ketch in touch
with her lighter, racier rivals, and posted a second and third. 
Able to sail their own race from the front Bob and Bairbre Stewart's Dublin
based Azure, the Dubois 40, won the first race while Chris Bonar's BH 36
atoned for starting very late in the first race, with a win the day's
second contest. 

With south westerly breezes proving light - between 3 and 10 knots - and
shifty through both of the IRC classes' contests, and the rain dampening
down spirits in the afternoon, it was a day when a first leg lead often
proved decisive. 

Two wins today for the North of England team on a new Beneteau First 36.7
Crewsaver Dickies Yacht Sales, elevates them lead their class. They were
sharp of the start lines today and rarely troubled by Hamish Oliphant's
Corby 35 Highland Spirit which won twice yesterday. 

The 21 boat 1720 Cork One Designs is rich in talent and, with three past
Scottish Series Trophy in the fleet, is considered on of the toughest to
win. 

For their first ever time on Loch Fyne Cork's Anthony O'Leary and his team
on Ford Racing have shown themselves to be at no disadvantage and lead by
three points from local Tarbert ace Ruaraidh Scott on King Quick. Both
proved their ability to come back from a big wind shift on the first leg of
their second race. Ford Racing fought back to second and King Quick took
fourth.

The Bell Lawrie Scottish Series 2002. 
Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Scotland. 
Day 2. 

Olympic/Windward Leewards at Tarbert.

There was no shortage of breeze as the full 195 boat Bell Lawrie Scottish
Series fleet mustered off Tarbert for the first time as the Cork 1720 and
Sportsboats joined the fray for their first races.

With the southerly wind building through the day to peak at nearly 40 knots
damage to boats and crews was inevitable. Among the casualties was last year's
Class 1 winner Gloves Off, Dubliner Colm Barrington's Corby 38, which broke its
mast during the second race, after having taken second in the first race. Other
masts down included a Jeanneau Sun Fast 32 ironically named Just Fyne and the
veteran Half Tonner Troy.

The crew of Gloves Off were working late into the evening yesterday aiming to
get the mast sleeved and a replacement mast was believed to be en route.

A crew member off the Class 1 First 47.7 Little Princess had to be taken to
Lochgilphead hospital with a crushed hand after being pulled into a winch. Among
the leading classes three boats remained unbeaten over their day. In Class 1
Richard Loftus' Swan 65 Desperado, the annual regatta's biggest boat, added to
their win in the opening Offshore race with two conclusive wins today around
their traditional Olympic style courses. Solent based Desperado leads Class 1
comfortably from Bob and Bairbre Stewart's Dubois 40 Azure which scored a third
and a second today.

" It was really about keeping the boat in the breeze today and we did
that well. You had to be slick with your crew work and we managed that well. It
was not always in the bag but we sailed well." explained Desperado's
tactician Tich Blachford.

The Cork 1720 class, with 22 boats on the water today, was all about not
making mistakes and Cork's Anthony O'Leary on Ford Racing were the day's most
consistent performers, despite this being their first ever visit to Loch Fyne,
landing a first and a second. They lead from the first mark in the first heat
and were ahead in the second until what proved the final turn. Local Tarbert
helm Ruairaidh Scott on King Quick gained an extra boost when they gybed into
one bigger gust to pass Ford Racing and win, with course prudently shortened as
the breeze gusted to over 35 knots. King Quick, runner up in the English
National Championships last month, lies second after a fourth and a win today.

Kevin Aitken's The White Tub was another to stay well clear of trouble and
has now notched up three wins from three starts. A slight edge in boat speed in
the brisker winds, astute tactics and well drilled crew work were the keys to
The White Tub's clean sheet.

" We have always been quick when the breeze is up and that allowed us to
get back into the lead a couple of times today after having been back to fifth
and sixth at different stages." Said helm Aitken.

Plymouth based Scot Hamish Oliphant guided his Corby designed 35 footer
Highland Spirit, which has benefited from a new keel and rudder fitted over the
winter, took two wins in Class 2 and was voted Boat of the Day. They snapped a
headsail halyard in the second race but still managed to win. For the defending
Scottish Series Trophy holders, Hamish Mackay and the crew of the Elan 333
Elanor, consistency was the order of the day. Two second places in IRC Class 3
keeps them on top of the Class after Jimmy Houston's Jeanneau Sun Fast 37 won
the first race and Donald Sharp's Elan 333 Tundra woon the second.

Winds are expected to be lighter tomorrow.

The Bell Lawrie Scottish Series 2002. 
Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Scotland. 
Day 1. 

Scotland may have had its first taste of summer this year and there have
been many colder and wetter offshore races in the 27 year history of the
regatta, but there was reminder that winter was not too far in the past for
the 100 plus crews who contested last night's offshore race which kicked
off this year's edition of The Bell Lawrie Scottish Series, the north of
Britain's biggest annual sailing regatta. 

With a squally south westerly breeze which peaked at 32 knots twice, not
long after the Gourock start and during the hours of darkness when the
Class 1 and 2 boats were just round the DZ Mark off the Heads of Ayr, at
least it proved a quick passage and by mid morning today the majority of
the fleet were tied up safely in the sunshine of the Kintyre peninsula's
picturesque haven.

Their start was one to forget, but Richard Loftus powerful Swan 65, this
biggest craft at the regatta, was first to break the finish line at
Tarbert. Going on to win on handicap by nearly five minutes Loftus will be
keen to keep up this early impetus on the short windward leeward and
Olympic courses on Loch Fyne, for with a long beat to DZ Buoy, a fetch,
which quickly punished any speculative spinnakers back to Hunterston
channel mark near the entrance to Largs channel this was a course designed
for Desperado. 

So too it was ideal for Geoffrey Howison's new Moody 54, Local Hero - a
more sedate successor to his race boats of the same name, many of which
have won their class here before. This cutter rigged cruiser comes complete
with a windscreen and, of course windscreen wipers and so their Class 5 win
was comfortable in both senses of the word. 

So too the start at Gourock made by Hamish Mackay and his team on the Elan
333 Elanor is not one they were keen to discuss the finer points of. The
current holders of the Scottish Series Trophy recovered quickly and
narrowly held off the X332 Tundra (Donald Sharp) by a matter of seconds
after 67 miles of racing, to win IRC Class 3. 

" It's not the start that counts but the finish." Was Elanor's Dave Kelly's
tired cliché. " It's going to be a tough class to win and while we have
always done reasonably well on the offshore, we have never won it so that's
a good start." 

Claiming redress was the crack team on the Jeanneau Sun Fast 37 2 Sassy
which stood by when the Titan 35 Animula lost her mast and still finished
third. 

In IRC Class 2 it was the northern dinghy sailors on the Beneteau 36.7 lead
by Nigel Biggs on Crewsaver Dickies which triumphed, winning by 6 minutes
and 10 seconds from Hamish Oliphant's Highland Spirit (ex Converting
Machine), the Corby 35. 

The race from Bangor was no less exciting, spurred on the heels of 20 knot
southerly peppered with squalls to 37knots, and it was Colm Barrington's
Dublin based Corby 38 Gloves Off which drew first blood in this year's
duelling with their rival Dubois designed Dublin boat Azure. 
Meanwhile the Sigma 33 and Sonata's had a great 26 mile day race to Tarbert
today. With brisk winds, there were no parking lots. Kevin Aitken's The
White Tub lead from the first turning mark, while past Scottish Series
winners and current UK national Sigma 33 Champions, Alan Milton's Pepsi
took third.
