Day 2 of the RS Elite 2022 UK National Championship & International Invitational
Ossie Stewart moves into the overall lead after three more races, his second and third place finishes proving more consistant than Tom Hewitson’s second and eleventh.
But both needed to discard a BFD from the first race of the second day in order to top the leaderboard with 14 and 20 points.
Newcomer to the class Martin Jones (5 5 7) representing the Royal Yacht Squadron who are hosting the regatta, holds third place on 26 points.
Winner of the first race Friday was Simon Brien from the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club who moves into fourth overall with 29 points.
The second and third races went to Russell Peters but he now has two BFD scores which hold him back in seventh overall.
Conditions for the day were sparkling, with bright sunshine and a westerly breeze of 12 to 15 knots. The cause of the many starting infringements was a strong west going tide pushing the fleet towards the starting line for the first two races.
