Laura Baldwin, Britain’s 2004 Athens representative in the Europe, showed her Olympic class, with three race wins on day 2 of the Europe UK National Championships at Weymouth on Saturday.
The change in wind strength did not see a huge change in the leading pack, but Baldwin was in her element and matched Cockerill’s heavy weather score from Friday.
Steve Cockerill (-4,2,2) the overnight leader retains the overall lead, but faces a tough final day as Baldwin was able to drop her 51 point penalty, and moved from 19th to 2nd, five points off leader Cockerill.
In third place is Arran Holman (-6,3,3), with Sarah Cockerill (-23,4,4) in fourth and David Jessop (3,7,6) moving into fifth.
