The RS21’s were handed light winds and sunshine for day 1 of their UK & Ireland Cup racing at Hayling Island SC on Friday.
It made for fiercely tight racing, where being on the right side of the shift and working hard not to have the slightest drop in boat speed really paid off.
Liam Willis sailing with Keith Willis, and Will and Matt Taylor won two of the three races completed to lead with 4pts.
Second is Hugh Watson sailing with Duncan Hepplewhite, Helen Watsonand Calum Reid, who won the opening race and is on 5pts, and third Philip Bendon with Joel Carey, Harry Phelps and Jack R with 9 pts.
