Stevie Wilson and Alain Sign loved the conditions; they blitzed race 1 to win to have the very definiation of a comfortable win in race 1. Tom Halhead/Stu Jagger were lying second but lost out on a decent size shift on the 3rd beat, Dave Hivey/James Stewart took full advantage to jump into 2nd but lost this right on the line to Alex Grove/Will Davies.

 

Race 2 and the fleet split very left and right up the first beat with the leading group coming from the left again led by Wilson/Sign who went on to lead throughout the race. This time Ian Martin/Jony Clegg, 4th in race 1 in hot pursuit in second throughout to record a good day. Andy Jeffries/Allyson Ody thrived in the conditions to pull through to 3rd. Hivey/Stewart were 4th to post a very solid first day.

 

Ian Jubb crewed by Bonnie Moody completed day 1 of his 12 day mission to take part in every RS class Nationals during the RS Games scoring 42nd and 47th in the 2 races. They move onto the RS500's today. Of the all girls teams Frances Peters and Nicola Grove are leading in 20th overall; it was a hard day for many of them yesterday.

 

With the wind very much the same for day 2 under uniform low grey clouds the word in the dinghy park is already who can beat Wilson/Sign.
