A three-way tie after the first day of the 2000 Class National Championship at Brixham YC on Sunday.
Simon Horsfield and Katie Burridge won the opening race ahead of Tim Hulley and Linda Hulley, but it was Rob and Sarah Burridge who won the second to top the leaderboard.
Rob and Sarah Burridge (6, 1) are tied on seven points with Isaac Marsh and Fresh Abendster (4,3) and Johnny and Matt Sargent (3, 4).
While opening race winners, Horsfield and Burridge (1,10) lead a tight chasing pack with 11 points in fourth place.
Thirty boats is a decent turn out in the present Covid-19 circumstances.
Some regulars were put off by C-19; others leapt at the opportunities afforded by not being able to go abroad and ‘working from home’ to make their first Nationals appearance.
The breeze was light throughout, not enough for both to be on the gunwale much of the time.
Racing continues through Friday.
