An outstanding opening day for Dylan Fletcher at the International Moth UK National Championship at WPNSA
Back to back wins in the first two races followed by a second place behind Stu Bithell in the third race set Fletcher top of the leaderboard with 4 points.
In second place is Fletcher’s partner in the Team GB 49er, Stu Bithell (7,5,1) on 13 points, third is Brad Funk (2,6,6) with 14 points with fourth Simon Hiscocks (4,3,7).
In fifth is Alex Adams (9,4,4) on 17 points and and sixth Ross Harvey (15,2,3) with 20 points.
Chris Draper (3,7,11) in seventh place with 21 points completes the leading pack of podium place finishers.
The first races have seen a spread of designs at the front, with the Rocket R2 and SSD, Exocet and Thinair all in contention.
The racing was held starting with a light breeze which built to stronger 15 knot wind giving ideal foiling conditions for the 70 strong fleet.
Racing continues through to Friday 15 September with 15 races scheduled.
