Luke McEwen and Hugh Shone winners of the 2023 RS800 Rope4Boats Inland Championship.
After an opening day at Grafham Water SC which prduced three different winners . . . Bryan Ormond / Anna Ormond, Liz Watton / Christopher Williams and James Penty / Eddie Grayson, all was still to play for on day 2.
Sunday morning brought unexpectedly warm weather for October’s start, coupled with a steady breeze of 12-15 knots, setting the stage for three more races.
The fleet remained closely matched, but the results took a familiar turn, likely due to the steadier wind.
McEwen and Shone secured a perfect score for day two and overall victory with 8 pts, leaving the fleet to decide the other podium places.
These went to Blake and Brett Tudor with 19 pts and James Penty and Eddie Grayson with 21 pts, from a tight chasing pack.
