The sea breeze challenges continue

 
A sea breeze was again the order of the day on another sunny, warm Nelson day. The NNW sea breeze was in when the 104 boat fleet arrived on course, but again it was pretty light, patchy and shifty for the first two races of the day. However unlike yesterday, when it the breeze faded out early, today it freshened and gave us a decent hiking breeze for the third race of the day. The tide was again a factor, with a number of general recalls and the black flag getting a workout.
 
The leader board in all divisions is taking shape with the contest now at the half way point of the scheduled races. Racing in all fleets was again tight, and the variability in the breeze saw positions changing often through the races.
 
In the ILCA 6, Olympic rep Greta Pilkington really stamped her authority on the contest, scoring 2 races wins and a second to lead the contest by 8 points, and it's worth noting that she has a 2nd place as her current discard! Sam Clark (Y) from Murrays Bay won the second race and now sits 5th overall. He is third in the youths behind Tom Pilkington, who is now 3rd overall and Arran Begic in 4th overall, both of whom had an OCS today which they were luckily able to discard after the 5th race. Open mens sailor George Lane was however the other standout in the fleet today, being super consistent with a third and two 4th to move through to second overall. Chloe Turner continues to be the leading Youth Girl in 8th overall and she has established a solid lead over 2nd place both girl Kate Rasmussen. Miro Luxford was also looking good today, moving up the leaderboard with two 2nd places,  but rather unfortunately he somewhat undid the good work with an OCS in race 2. 

In the ILCA 7 the results were again dominated by the open sailors Caleb Armit and Dylan Forsyth, with Dylan again taking out the first race of the day but Caleb victorious in both the second and third races to lead Dylan by 1 point overall. U21's George Pilkington and  Zach Stibbe both had solid results in all 3 races to sit 3rd and 4th overall.  Just behind them a great contest for the overall Masters supremacy is developing between top GM Andrew Dellabarca, local AM Tim Pitcaithly and Whangarei Kris Dekke (M), who sit 5th, 6th and 7th overall after the 5 races. David Giles continues to lead the GGM's in 15th overall.
 
In the ILCA 6 masters fleet GM Werner Henig from Hamilton is having a blinder, winning the fresher third race today after scoring two 2nd places in the days earlier races to lead overall from Josh Edmonds (A), while defending champion Phil Wild (M) is clearly finding things a bit tough, but has done enough to sit 3rd overall. Sandra Williams had a fantastic day to convincingly take the lead in the women division from Helen Spencer, while Graham Tee continues to lead the GGM's. The starts also proved a challenge in this fleet, with GM Roger Winton winning the second race but then picking up an OCS in the days last race. Its tough at the top!

The ILCA 4 fleet is having a great contest. Local sailor Brooke Mundy won two of todays races to close the gap on Lucy Luxford, who won one race today but did enough to continue to lead overall. It also continues to be a close battle for the rest of the fleet, with all sailors again recording a top 3 placing in at least one race, ending the day with Madison Smith now third overall ahead of Ellie Tapper and Louis Yang.

So another great but challenging day in Nelson, with a clear advantage to those able to avoid the tide trap and get good starts without incurring the dreaded OCS! Tomorrow's forecast is again similar, with light to moderate sea breezes again expected. Another 3 races are scheduled, so there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to improve or solidify their positions ahead of Sundays concluding 2 races.

A challenging sea breeze to open

A pretty much capacity field of 104 ILCA sailors lined up for first 2 races of the 2025 Scott Construction NZ ILCA Championships at Nelson Yacht Club today. After the regatta was officially opened by Nelson mayor Nick Smith, racing got underway in classic Nelson sunshine, with blues skies and a building sea breeze. Race 1 started after a bit of a delay for the sea breeze to properly establish and for the first race of the day all 3 fleets; 38 in the ILCA 7,  35 in the ILCA 6 and 31 the combined ILCA 6 Master and ILCA 4's, enjoyed an 7 to 10 knots sea breeze with a nice chop, although it was quite shifty and there were plenty of holes and tidal sets to trap the unwary. The breeze had faded a little by the start of the second race, and got really tricky as it continued to drop as the race went on. This, combined with with the significant tidal flow across the course area caused by big spring tides, made conditions for all fleets pretty testing. All 3 fleets however completed the planned 2 races and generally the favourites were to the fore in spite of the tricky conditions.

 
In the ILCA 7 race 1 was dominated by Dylan Forsyth and Caleb Armit, who distanced the fleet in a great battle throughout the race with Dylan eventually triumphing. George Pilkington, fresh from the Aussie Nationals, was third with the leading two masters, Tim Pitcaithly (A) and Andrew Dellabarca (GM) also in the top bunch in 4th and 6th respectively, split by Zach Stibbe in 5th. The top bunch was similar for the second race, but with Caleb getting the better of Dylan and George being one of a number of OCS recipients. It was again Tim and Andrew in the top bunch to finish the day as the leading AM and GM with Kris Deck the leading Master in 7th and David Giles the leading GGM in 13th.
 
In the ILCA 6 it was a bit of a Pilkington family reunion at the front of the fleet, with our 2024 Womens Olympic rep Greta second in both races just leading younger brother Tom (YB) by a point, with Arran Begic (YB) also having an outstanding day to be tied on points with Tom. Chloe Turner was another to have an excellent day, with a 5th and a 6th placing her 5th overall and leading the Youth girl. As with the ILCA 7's there were a bunch of OCS's in the second race which included ex ILCA 6 Mens world champ George Lane, who had been 3rd in race 1. Many others in the fleet found putting together two consistent results on the day tough and they will be looking to put together a more consistent day in tomorrows scheduled 3 races to climb up the standings.
 
The ILCA 6 Masters continued the story of OCS challenges and struggles for consistency. Race 1 winner, and defending champion, Phil Wild seemed to show the effects of the pressure of recently having taken over as ILCA.nz secretary, and did it tough in race 2 with an 11th, while Werner Henig, who was OCS in race 1, triumphed in race 2. Josh Edmonds (AM) from Tamaki rose above all the adversity to lead the ILCA 6 Masters fleet after day 1 with a 2nd and a 3rd. He sits a point ahead of Dunedins Dragos Blaga (M), who is making amends for missing last years event when he contract Covid just before the regatta, with GM Hamish Atkinson returning to the ILCA fleet and sitting 3rd overall. Hamiltons wonder GM Helen Spencer leads the women in 8th overall from local Nelson sailors Sandra Williams (GM), the power house behind organising the regatta. Graeme Tee from Whakatane is the leading GGM in 6th overall
 
In the ILCA 4 Lucy Luxford, showing the benefits of being fresh from the solidarity program at the Australian and Oceania champs in Brisbane, dominated to win both races. It is a close battle for the rest of the fleet, with all 4 sailors recording a top 3 placing in one race. Madisson Smith from Wanaka ended up second overall on the day on 6 points, one clear of Louis Yang and Brooke Mundy with Ellie Tapper is just one point adrift in 5th.
 
So a challenging day to open the championships. Tomorrow's forecast is similar, with light to moderate sea breezes. We have 3 races scheduled so PRO Geoff Pitcaithly will be hoping to get away on time and for a slightly more consistent breeze to fit in all the scheduled races.

ILCA North Island Champs in Napier - Results & Report

The ILCA North Island Championships were held over the weeke3nd on 23-24 November as part of the Napier Sailing Club Summer Regatta. The ILCA 6 fleet was again very strong with 40 entrants and a high calibre of sailors making  for tough, close racing. Two Australian made their way over the ditch to compete which is something that we hope to see more of.


Day one was sailed in 7-12 knots from the North-east with oscillating shifts with the odd doozy right-hander making things interesting.  The wave state was a lot more civilised compared to  last year and resembled a typical East Coast Bays onshore. All fleets hammered out four races of circa 40mins which made for a long day. Day one saw master Phil Wild (MBSC) take the first race and string together another few top three placing to open up a comfortable lead over Aaron Begic (MBSC) and reigning national champion Naiomi Ferrissey (MBSC) who was in third after being BFD in race three. 
 
Sunday was postponed and eventually started in 6knots with sloppy sea state, with the breeze increasing a few clicks in the second race but building to 14-16 knots in race three. With the leaders emerging in the ILCA 6,  tactics came into play, opening up opportunities for the fleet especially in the first two races of the day.  However with the breeze settled in for the finale, Phil, Aaron and Naomi opening out on the rest of the fleet.  However a consistent performance from Australian Institute of Sport sailor, Fracis Bebe crowbarred her way onto the podium to take third overall ahead of Aaron with Naiomi Ferrissey (first Female)  in 2nd and Phil Wild (1st Master) winning overall with only one race outside the top three. Chloe Turner (MBSC) , who caught the red eye after receiving her YNZ excellence award on Friday night, deservedly claimed 1st female youth.
 
Special mentions to Tom Pilkington (MBSC/RNZYS), Australian Jackson Black (RQSC) and local sailor Rose Dicky (NSC) for winning races.

On both days the consistent front runners of the ILCA 7 fleet were George Pilkington (MBSC / RNZYS), Andrew Dellabaca (WBBC), Kris Decke (Whangarei) and Max Faulkner (TYPBC). The oscillating breeze gave us some classic yacht racing. And while George was challenged at times on the course, his consistency delivered 5 bullets from 7 races. Behind the leaders the generally light conditions, shifts & bumps mixed things up a bit. 

Napier Sailing Club put on a fantastic event with excellent race management which we have grown to take for granted.h

North Harbour Masters and J14 Auckland Champs - results & report

Sailing at Lake Pupuke is a unique experience and the 2024 combined North Harbour Masters / J14 Auckland Champs were proof of that.

Results

Even lake experts were tested by a puffy unstable Northerly. We had rare moments almost beclamed on the runs, and times fully hiked and reaching for the cunningham. It was a good test and we only had to contend with rain and a real fade in the breeze for the last of the five races.

9 ILCA 7's and 7 ILCA 6's was a pretty light turnout. But 20 elegant J14's fill the start line and were spectacular across the lake.

Kris Decke dominated the ILCA 7's winning all 4 races he started, leaving the last light race for Mark Hursthouse and Nik Kelis to sort out 2nd and 3rd.

Phil Wild mastered the ILCA 6's with 4 (he thinks maybe 3) bullets. Pete Thomas was 2nd and Roger Winton returned from a sailing break for 3rd.

David Giles and Trent Justice had more of a battle for the top J14 spot. David just came out on top to defend the title he won last year. Bill Hewitt and Mark Shaw in 3rd and 4th were close on points. First 2-handed crew were Rob and Mika Neely were 5th overall.

A Pupuke BC prize-giving is a cultural experience. Generous spot prizes, dodgy sausages (that don't need chilling for some alarming reason) and J.D. uniformly offending everyone. No one feels left out.

Huge thanks again to Garth, J.D. and Dave who put this event on each year with zero fuss. Super relaxed and super fun.

2024 Stack Winter Champs Results & Report

Click for full results

The Stack Winter Champs were held at Murrays Bay Sailing club over the weekend 5/6 October with a full schedule completed between forecasted lighting storms and heavy rain warnings. Race officer Nick Olson and the MBSC team were highly efficient in rolling through the races at a cracking pace having the fleet back on the beach before 2pm on both days. The club also commented that this was the largest overall fleet, including all classes, since pre-covid, numbering up to over a 160 which is certainly encouraging.

 
The ILCA 6 fleet was slightly smaller than previous years with 15 entrants however was of a solid standard and the hard work that many had put in of the winter was apparent with very tight racing throughout the fleet. Being the first major regatta of the season, it gave some insight into the depth of talent coming through in the ILCA6 class.
 
Saturday was held in 10-15knot choppy North Westerlies with plenty of passing lanes around the track. Racing was very tight with only two points separating the top three and after three races. Stand outs included multiple NZ representative, Chloe Turner (MBSC) with impressive upwind performance and who took out race 3 and Miro Luxford (CBYC) who carved through the fleet with impressive downwind speed when the course angles allowed, taking out races 1 and 2 on the water (however was UFD in the first race).
 
Sundays racing was held in 10-15 Westerly, just off Campbells Bay with the RO having to contend with 40° fluctuations in wind direction. Aaron Begic (MBSC) revelled in the chaos to notch up two second placings and consolidate 2nd overall, only missing out on winning overall on count back. Young Tom Pilkington (MBSC/RNZYS) in his first ILCA 6 event is certainly following in the footsteps of his high achieving siblings who won the first race of the day followed by impressive performances to finish 4th overall. Chloe had another solid day, winning the last race and only being one point short of first equal.
 
Results:
1st Phil Wild (MBSC)
2nd Aaron Begic (MBSC)
3rd Chloe Turner (MBSC), 1st Female
4th Tom Pilkington (RNZYS, MBSC)
10th Kate Rasmussen (MSC/MBSC), 2nd Female

2024 Pupuke Freshwater Laser Champs - A bit of a drifter

With Auckland under big high pressure for the weekend beautiful blue skies but a distinct lack of breeze were the feature of both days for the 2024 NS ILCA Freshwater Champs at Pupuke.

A decent fleet of 30, pretty evenly split between ILCA 7 and 6, turned up on Saturday morning, but others who were expected were clearly put off by the very light, and unfortunately accurate, forecast for the weekend.

On Saturday race officer Garth Briden managed to get a couple of short races for both fleets completed in a very light SE breeze, what we could generously call gusting 5 knots, before the breeze collapsed almost completely just after the start of the third race for the ILCA 7. They struggled around to complete a shortened third race but that was the end of the breeze and the racing on Saturday.

Sunday was if anything even tougher, with little puffs of an E'ish whisper that never got to much more that 3 knots. Everyone was keen to give it a try and 2 drifters were completed for both fleets to give a series result.

In the ILCA 7 rising U21 star George Pilkington ended up dominating the weekend with 4 wins, assisted by his expertise with roll tacking and gybing. He was followed by open sailors Max Faulkner from Tauranga, who cleaned up the first race on Saturday and a consistent Eroni Leilua, who will be representing Samoa in this years Olympics. Leading Master in 4th overall was Kris Decke from Whangarei while Mike Keeton took out the GGM's in spite of all his GGM ailments.

The ILCA 6 fleet was certainly one of high calibre, with numerous national champions and representatives competing as well as the next batch of up and coming talent. The racing was fierce and there were four different race winners for the four races completed. Conditions required a combination of patience, resilience and good eye-sight to spot the puffs on the glassy lake…which clearly Greta Pilkington displayed an abundance of.

Race one saw Beau Utting from RAYC recover from a difficult start to hook into a wonderful left hander and take the lead through the finish with Greta Pilkington, fresh off the plane from Europe, coming in hot in second place with NZ Youth Rep Zach Stibbe in third. In race two Fiji Olympian Sofia Morgan bolted out of the gate, leading through to a third of the way up the last beat when a left hand shift was picked up by Greta who won the race with aging battler Phil Wild in second and up and coming youth Sam Clarke sneaking in to round out the top 3.

The first race on Sunday was started in negligible, gusting not much more and provided a great demonstration on how to roll tack…at which this years youth rep Zach Stibbe proved to be best in the ILCA 6's and took out the race with ever consistent Greta in second and Sofia in for a well-deserved third. Race four got away in a blustery maybe 4 knots in which Sofia got away to a lead however a combination of lulls and puffs saw the fleet congeal at the bottom mark after which Phil Wild tacked out into a new "breeze" (read more than 1 knot), that came down the left of the course and lead through to the finish holding off the highly determined Greta with Sam Clark stealing his way into third.

So overall Greta Pilkington made it a quinella for the Pilkington family for the weekend. Phil Wild was 2nd overall and dominated the masters, with youth Sam Clarke an excellent 3rd overall. Leading youth girl was Kate Rasmussen by just a single point from Chloe Turner.

Plenty of sausages and prizes kept everyone happy after racing thanks to principal sponsors Burnsco and NZ Sailing.

2024 Auckland ILCA Champs - Open Youth and Masters Results

2024 Auckland ILCA Champs - Open, Youth and Masters at Tamaki YC.

  • 2-day Open & Youth regatta Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th March 2024
  • 1-day Masters regatta Saturday 23rd March

Overall results

On Saturday we had the scheduled 4 races in N to NE conditions. It was a good test. Moderate breeze most of the time, but up in the later teens at moments. There were some decent shifts that mixed up the places on occasion. And some waves to work on the run into Mission Bay. Funnily enough the best of the sailors seemed to do well in most races.

Sunday morning started with a light but steady easterly that encourgaed us out onto the course. But it started to fade to less than 5 knots after the first ILCA7 race started. They did get one 1-lap race in. But the ILCA 6s were not so lucky, and after a couple of goes trying to get them away we paused for an hour, before giving it away in favour of watching the Black Foils win the dolphin-free day of the Christchurch SailGP.
