Day Two of the Noble Marine West Country Boat Repairs RS200 National Championships provided another brilliant day of racing, with cooler north-west winds bringing gusts of 16-20 knots and choppy waters. The
The gusty and shifty breeze provided chances of glory, and the first race of the day brought Brenden Lynch and Ellen Clark into uncharted waters.
They started first round the pathfinder, and then capitalised on this to lead all the way to the finish. Second were Aaron Holman and Toby Lewis, with Rory Odell and Henry Jameson following closely in third.
Lynch and Clark finished the day in 32nd with a 120, 36, 1, 47, scoreline.
In the second race of the day (R4) Issac Marsh and Fresh Abenstern were run-away winners after they rounded the windward mark, and gybed across to take a gust down the left side of the downwind.
They extended their lead on the fleet and maintained pole position around the course, giving us another new set of winners. Marsh and Abenstern are 17th overall with a 20, 31, -35, 1, scoreline.
Hamish Walker and Emma Hivey (11, 2) finished in second and James Peters and Maddy Anderson in third. Holman and Lewis took fourth place, now their discard!
