The latest Laser Qualifier events at Hayling Island SC were reduced to just one race completed over the weekend.
Which is rather unfortunate, as with the Laser selection for Tokyo 2020 still up for grabs, this was rare chance to see, on British waters, how the main players were lining up.
Although these local events apparently have no effect on the RYA Olympic Selection Committee decision, they do provide the rest of us with something to write about.
The HISC single standard Laser race went to Lorenzo Chiavarini ahead of Olympian Nick Thompson with Elliot Hanson third, and Mike Beckett in fourth place.
In last weeks Qualifier series event the podium order was, Beckett first then Chiavarini, Hanson and Thompson.
And at the one before that at Sunderland it was, first Chiavarini, then Beckett and then Hanson.
So that gives Chiavarini the edge after the three recent events, but this still has some way to run, with the next international event being the World Cup in Miami in January next year.
Have a happy christmas guys . . .
Meanwhile in the Radial qualifier at HISC the winner of the mixed gender event was Dan Batty from Dortchester SC ahead of Oliver Sturley with Ali Young – who is already named for Tokyo 2020 – in third place.
In the Laser 4.7 event Oliver Woodley of Burghfield SC was the winner ahead of Keijiro Kikkawa, with third Tim Evans.
