4th
to 10th February 2012 - 1st Pattaya International Multihull Festival
by Chris Dando
60 multihulls entered the first
running of the Pattaya International Multihull Festival at Varuna. With
sailors from many countries, and a wide range of experience from relative
beginners to several World Champions, it was a great line up that really
emphasised the 'Festival' atmosphere during the week. The format of
the week with a combination of windward-leeward courses, medium distance
races, and a long distance race day gave a variety of sailing for all.
The first 3 days included a
RVYC club championship event within the overall week. Within the Yellow
Division, this was hotley contested by Alex Skaria and Peter Herning
in their F20 against Morton Jakobsen and Florent Herson in their Nacra
Infusion F18. Despite a spirited challenge from Morton, Alex just managed
to hand on by one point to take the honours, with Morton second followed
by Saranya Mackinson and Roch Giacinti in their Infusion. In the Yellow
Division the battle was on between the Dart sailed by Gareth Owen and
Bobby Friefel, the Nacra 16 Square sailed by Jan Holldorff, and the
Hobie 16 of Gary Baguley and Araya Peampibul. The lighter conditions
were against the Dart which excells in strong winds, however Gareth
managed to pull out all the stops to win, with Jan and Gary close on
points just behind in second and third respectively.
Overall the White Division
featured a battle royal between the Viper F16's and the F20's with the
F18's hotly following. Congratulations to Caroljn Brouwer and Brett
Goodall who sailed a great week to win in their Viper, often ahead of
most of the F18's over the water let alone on handicap! Thailand dominated
the overall results in the Yellow Division with Khun Damronsak Yongtim
and Khun Kitsada Yongtim finishing first in their Hobie 16, followed
by their fellow team from YRAT Khun Teerapong and Khun Whatcharpong
also in a Hobie 16. The top RVYC sailors were Gareth Owen and Bobby
Friefel in their Dart 18 in third place. Gareth's excuse was that there
was not enough wind for the Dart but could it really have been a few
too many pies consumed by the helm?.......
Some of the best racing of
the week was on the Wednesday when the winds picked up and everyone
could manage to stretch their legs on the trapeze. The sight of the
fleet rounding the mark just off Varuna was spectacular! The wind Gods
on Friday also played their part to complete a very successful week
by allowing racing to get away at the earlier start time of 10:00. All
boats were packed away in the containers the same afternoon allowing
all to join a very lively prizegiving and party on Friday night!
