Mozzy’s Alan Krailing, Tim Linsell secure top place on Day 4: 2011 Allen Lark National Championship
Waldringfield Sailing Club’s Alan Krailing and Tim Linsell have secured the top place in overall standings of 2011 Allen Lark National Championships on Day 4 at South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club in Abersoch. The pair had a convincing sail on their boat Mozzy
under lighter wind conditions. Shustoke’s Stuart Hydon and Nick Hydon finished second on their yacht named Well Dodgy.
The weather conditions were too light to sail and troubled the sailors a lot. The race was postponed a couple of times during the day due to low wind forecast. The breeze was gusting around 10 knots over the race course on Abersoch waters which wasn’t enough
to set sail so the competitors had to wait for conditions to change.
Krailing and Linsell set sail in the first race with confidence and despite unfavourable wind conditions, they finished third. However, the wind speed increased in the second race which helped the sailors a lot. The pair from Waldringfield Sailing Club tumbled
down at number six in the second race but they still managed to stay on top of the standings with 13.5 points despite unconvincing performance.
On the other hand, Stuart Hydon and Nick Hydon’s Well Dodgy sailed brilliantly clinching both races of the Day 4 with 0.75 points in each race. The Shustoke duo is approximately ten points behind the toppers.
