The second day of racing at the ACO 11th Musto Skiff World Championships 2022 saw a change in wind conditions and a dramatic change of leader.
Rick Peacock (2,5,1,2) comprehensively outscored overnight leader Andy Tarboton (3,3,7,9) to take a ten point lead, with Jamie Hilton moving into third place, a further ten points back on 38 points.
The stronger wind meant that as the day went on the fleet reduced and by the final fourth race, only half the fleet were still standing!
Pete Greenhalgh led a charge by the chasing pack, moving from eighth into fourth place with 39 points with Jono Shelley in fifth and Dan Vincent sixth.
Not fairing so well was Robert Richardson, winner of two races on Thursday, he crashed out to seventh place with 58 points.
Friday’s race winners were:
- Race 5 Danny Boatman
- Race 6 Dan Vincent,
- Race 7 Rick Peacock
- Race 8 Jamie Hilton.
Racing continues Saturday.
