Chichester Harbour Race Week reached mid-point at Hayling Island SC with its third day of racing for the 350+ entries.
Unfortunately the light or non-existant breezes that have caused much upset at sailing events over the past few weeks – 505 and GP14 Worlds – reached down to Chichester Harbour and most racing had to be abandoned for the day.
The RS Elite keelboat fleet took to the water for their first day of the regatta and managed to complete two races.
The first won by Colin Smith, Jamie Smith and Anna Wells in No. 7, and the second by Steve Fisher, Elliot Caldwell and Sasha Thorne in No. 44. Smith with a 1 and 3 takes the early lead.
The only other racing able to be completed was for the RS Tera Pro/Sport and the Optimist fleets, who both completed two races.
