Day 3 dawned with everything still to play for. Ian Morgan needed to have a more consistent day to fend of the challenge from Paul Scullion and Gareth Henshall, all of who could mathematically win the event.

The wind gods played ball and served up a nice but shifty wind which occasionally moved south catching people out.

After all was said and done Ian posted 3, 3, 1 to become D-Zero National Champion for 2016 and earn the right to use sail number 1 until the 2017 Nationals.

Paul's results of 7, 2, 3 saw him hold on to second overall and Gaz posted 5, 4, 2 to complete the podium.

At the time of writing the class are gathering for prize giving.

A full report with photos, results and VR Sport day 3 video will follow shortly.
