Day 2 of the Selden Masts 2023 Solo Class National Championship at Hayling Island SC.
Some very different conditions shuffled the (now full) fleet with the light northerly providing very shifty conditions in the Bay.
Charlie Cumbley (2, -14) a former class champion, moves into the lead after races 3 and 4, tied on 6 pts with Oliver Davenport (1, -98).
Overnight leader, Ben Flower (-19, 4) slips to third, but only one point behind Cumbley and Davenport.
While Richard Lovering (-6, 2) is in fourth on 11 pts and the only competitor still with an all single-figure scoreline.
James Morgan was another to need the discard to keep him in contention, counting a seventh and discarding a 44th place he is in fifth overall.
Ted Bakker from the Randmeer club in Holland moves up to 14th after a third place in the first race of the day. He is tied on 40 pts with Olly Turner from Salcombe YC who took a third place in the final race of the day.
Their success from further down in the fleet was beaten by Nigel Thomas of Hill Head SC, who did not sail on Sunday, but made up for it with a win in race 4, to add to a 35 in race 3 and sits in 46th with 134 pts.
Racing continues Tuesday with two more races scheduled.
