With five races completed, Russell Peters sailing with Greg Wells and Zeb Elliott has a four point lead.
The opening race of day 2 was a win for Matt Abbiss, Ali Hall and Nick Jones, but Russell Peters and his ‘Riff Raff’ team returned to their winning ways with wins in the next two races.
This put Peters four points clear of Abbiss, with Ossie Stewart sailing with Mike Mcintyre and Tom Stewart (-8, 4, 4) holding onto third overall despite failing to break into the leading group on day 2.
Rising to the challenge it was Simon Childs with Paul and Kato Childs who took second in the first two races before dropping to 8th (discarded) in the final race to take fourth overall.
Tom Hewitson with Colin Smith and Jo Hewitson (-9, 9,3) slip to fifth overall, and Adrian Williams, with Tim Peters and Pasty Vigus finished the day with a second place to move into sixth.
