First day for the Radial sailors at the UKLA National Championships at WPNSA.
And from the start it’s looking like a rerun of the men’s Standard event that finished on Wednesday, with Alison Young – Team GB Tokyo 2020 squad member – taking two wins from three races.
And just like for Elliot Hanson, Young is tracked by another top British Sailing team member.
Here it is Hannah Snellgrove racing in a different flight with a 1, 2, 2, scoreline and only one point off overall leader Young.
Hannah back to her best after 6.5 months post-knee surgery and 8 months post-slipped disc, commented . . . It couldn’t feel better to be back racing.
In third place is Arthur Fareley tied on eight points with Finley Dickinson, while Ben Elvin is a point back in fifthh place with nine points.
