First day of the 2025 Noble Marine UK Musto Skiff Nationals at Hayling Island SC.
Ben Clegg made the most of the fresh conditions, taking a clean sweep of the first three races to jump to a six point lead.
Robert Richardson took a brace of third place finishes to finish the day in second, with Andy Tarboton 2 3 2, in third and Eddie Bridle 6 2 4 fourth.
Some eleven competitors decided to sit the first day out, and four or five pulled out on course, Friday looks to be more obliging.
This year’s championship has drawn 38 entries, including strong international representation: four boats from South Africa, one from Armenia and one from France.
