Day 3 of the RS Elite 2022 UK National Championship & International Invitationals second
Russell Peters and his crew of James Grant and Greg Wells have snatched a narrow lead at the end of day 3 after he was able to discard his second black flag disqualification from his scoreline.
Sailing Riff Raff they added two more race wins and a ninth place to now have a slender two point lead ahead of Hayling Island’s Ossie Stewart (3,2,14) crewed by his son Tom and Geoff Carveth.
Third placed and defending champion Tom Hewitson (10,9 12), has now dropped 20 points back from the leading pair and is just two points ahead of fourth placed Martin Jones (11,4,BFD).
Althought there is just one race to go on Sunday, it all still to sail for . . .
The Solent laid on its sparkling best today, with sunshine and a good breeze in the 15 to 20 knot range, Russell Peters describing it as “fabulous conditions, it was so good to be out there.
