Nick Craig & James Stewart start their title defence in style
The Gul RS400 National championship at Mounts Bay started today in a fresh 14 knot breeze. Out of the gate start in the first race, Jon Gorringe/Toby Lewis made the most of the first shift to lead the fleet early on, followed by defending champions Nick Craig/James Stewart and Tom Halhead/Chris Bishop. The leading two pulled away, with Craig/Stewart eventually winning that battle but behind them, Dave Jones/Mark Hogan pulled through to third.
For the second race, the wind had moderated to around 12 knots and was shifting. Halhead/Bishop came out smelling of roses and just led at the first mark. Craig/Stewart pulled through to second on the run and then passed to take the lead. As the leading two pulled away, places in the chasing pack were constantly changing, with Paul Hilliar/Stu Jagger eventually taking third from Hywel Roberts/Richard Kenyon.
After day one, Craig/Lewis lead but four points separate second to seventh places. The championship is scheduled for 10 races and will conclude on Thursday 24th.
