Day 1 of the RS800 National Championship kicked off in great style with two hotly contested races in Portland Harbour.
A great start for Tom Morris and Guy Fillmore who took the first race ahead of Hugh Shone and Fiona Hampshire, with Cam Stewart and Alice Masterman in third.
But then Shone and Hampshire nailed the second race with a spot-on port layline at the first mark to finish ahead of defending champions, Luke and Emma McEwen, with Morris and Fillmore taking third.
That left Shone and Hampshire overnight leaders on three points after two races, and one point ahead of Morris and Fillmore, with the McEwens in third on eight points.
Tied on ten points are Phil Walker and John Mather with Stewart and Masterman. Then come Megan Brickwood and Stephanie Orton on 16 points.
Sunday there are three races scheduled and a lighter and shiftier breeze forecast.
