British Vane A-Class Championships at Fleetwood Model Yacht Club Day 2

by John Taylor 19 Aug 2013 21:36 BST 18-26 August 2013

Today the wind continued to be from the west but had decreased in strength slightly to approximately 15 mph, gusting to 20 mph at times. The competitors were split into 2 fleets and will race each other for the next couple of days.

During the morning's racing Chris Harris proved to be the most productive taking most of the points available.

During the afternoon's session B-Fleets competitors took to the water, David Bell the regatta's early leader continued to sail with confidence and has now opened up a 17 point lead at the top.

Graham Butler, who was damaged yesterday, managed to win some of his re-sails and has climbed to second place overall. With only 6 points separating third place and the middle of the fleet, there is still a lot to play for.

Roll on tomorrow when B-Fleet take to the water first. The wind is forecast to remain strong.
