Weymouth turned on the breeze for day one of the Noble Marine 2021 RS800 Nationals at Castle Cove SC.
Possibly a bit more breeze than most of the 38 teams were expecting, a solid force 5 from SSW with gusts of 24 knots whirling around Portland.
With two races completed, Robert Gullan and Tom Partington are tied on 3 points with Tom Morris and Guy Filmore.
Gullan and Partington won the first race ahead of Morris and Filmore, who then reversed the order in the second race.
In third place are Luke and Emma McEwan who finished behind the two leading crews in both races, with Hugh Shone and Fiona Hampshire (4,4) taking fourth overall.
Friday promises even more excitement with a little more breeze forecast, three races and the possibility of a trip into Weymouth Bay.
