Day 2 of the Rooster British Finn National Championship at Hayling Island SC.
No let up in the strong wind conditions, meant that the fleet moved into Chichester Harbour for day 2, with two races completed.
Despite the calmer sea state this provided only twenty of the fleet took to the water, and Cameron Tweedle continued to set the pace, adding two more race wins to take a clean-sweep from four races.
Laurent Hay (2, 3) of France again led the chasing pack, adding a 2 and 3 for 7 pts.
In third place is Lawrence Crispin with a 5 and 2 for 10 pts after the discard.
In fourth is Richard Sharp (-9, 6) tied on 16 pts with John Greenwood (-8, 7).
Simon Pettit of the host club moves into sixth after a 3 and 4 and dropping his DNF from day 1, now tied on 19 pts with another HISC sailor, Michael de Courcy (6, 9).
Saturday shows signs of a slight easing of the breeze and even some sun for the final day.
