RC Laser Championship of Nations - Day 5

by Dave Fowler 26 Jul 2013 08:57 BST 21-23 July 2013

9 Races were held today, that's 18 flights, the wind was true and constant, slowly veering to the sea breeze when the tide turned at 14:15, with the wind increasing in strength for the 'C' sail to be aired for the first time in this event.

Again the main Battle was between Fowler and Albiges with all the bullets being shared 5,4. The day saw the return of Skip Reaser to the top 3 races, with him leading several of the races, but couldn't keep either of the top 2 at bay to the finish line.

By the end of the day Fowler had increased his lead to 19 points over Albiges, Fabern had a bad day visiting the B fleet several times and is 20 points behind in 3rd.

Top 5 after day 5:

Pos	Helm	Sail No	Country
1	Dave Fowler	840	GBR
2	Marc Albiges	305	FRA
3	Taco Fabern	1	NED
4	Skip Reaser	39	GBR

(Note that day 4 was a lay day.)
