Mike McIntyre keeps his lead after day 3 of the RS Elite UK National Championships on Dublin Bay, but Ossie Stewart was the man with a mission.
McIntyre sailing with Simon Childs and Caroline McIntyre (4,2,3) saw his lead slashed to 3 points after Ossie Stewart had a storming day with a 2, 1, 1 scoreline to finish in second place overall.
Also on a roll was Paul Firth who added a second race win in the first race (R6) of the day, and despite dropping out of the leading group in the other two races, finished the day in third place overall.
Roddy Bowerman (9,10,8) slips to fourth overall, with Andy Partington (15,3,7) retaining fifth and James Yearsley (12,5,2) climbing from 12th to take sixth place overall.
Note: Six boats were given redress for race 3, it is not known if the published results reflect that decision.
