Day 2 of the Wetsuit Outlet UK Moth Nationals and Dan Ward keeps his lead after two more races on Friday.
The stronger conditions – 15 to 20 knot South Westerlies and a difficult chop – meant that some 15 boats stayed on the shore, and a few more retired as the day wore on.
Dave Hivey (2, 3) and Jim McMillan (1, 7) were able to discard their day 1 BFD penalties and move into second and third places respectively.
Now just four points off Ward, who added a 6 and 1 to finish the day counting a 2, 3, 1, 1 after discarding a sixth place.
The arrival of Hivey and McMillan in the podium places upped the ante and shifted everyone else down.
Eddie Bridle (9, 12) dropped to fifth, and Paul Gliddon (4, 4) to fourth . . . setting some sort of record with five, fourth place finishes.
James Gray (10,2) and Alex Adams (3, 9) stayed in the top mix, but after that it looks like a tough weekend.
