Day 2 of the Noble Marine Rooster RS200 UK National Championship hosted by Hayling Island SC.
Two more races completed for the 180+ strong fleet and the leaderboard shuffle sees David Jessop and Sophie Mear drop out of the podium places and Arran Holman and Haydn Sewell (9, 1) move into the lead with 19 pts.
Elliot Hanson and Martin Wrigley (11, 2) move up into second with 23 pts, and Arthur Henderson and Jamie Webb (1, 15) up into third with 30 pts.
Jessop and Mear (5, 26) are now down in fourth with 38 pts, Jack Holden and Libby Watkins (7, 5) had a better day to climb from 11th to fifth on 40pts and Steve Cockerill and Emma Hivey (2, 24) gain a place to move into the top six with 48pts.
Tom Morris and James Crossley had the day’s best score, a 3 and 6, to jump from 15th into seventh place tied on 52pts with fellow HISC members Tom and Charlie Darling (28, 3).
After four of ten races completed Holman and Sewell are the only pair with all single digit scores, and with two race wins are already looking comfortable, but the first discard should tighten things.
Still plenty of racing to be done and in this big fleet any errors could be costly
