Ewan Wilson and Fin Armstrong take a firm lead at the 29er Grand Prix event at Hayling Island SC.
The pair from the Wormit Boating Club won three of the first four races and have a 14 point lead from Oliver Evans and Will Jarman, who won the other race and are on 22 points.
Monique Vennis-Ozanne and John Mather are in third with 23 points, Athena Vogiatzi and Maddie Wylie are fourth with 29 points
The Wilson and Armstrong lead came with a boost in the early races . . . in the first two races the second placed crew were black flagged in their other race, thus ending up well down the leaderboard.
A situation they have failed to recover from so far.
Henry Jameson and Louis Johnson took second in the first race but had a penalty in the following race, while Tom Storey and Pierce Harris were black flagged in race 1 then took second in race 2.
Other high flying black flag recepients were, Meg Brickwood and Bella Fellows who added it to their third place, and William Pank and Seb Gotto who add it to their fourth place.
Aled Llewellyn-Jones and Ben Willett ruined a consistant set of results with a penalty in the final race of the day.
Sunday will be their chance to fight their way back onto the podium.
