Weymouth Bay provided the RS800 fleet with champagne conditions for day two of the RS Games. The fleet launched in a puffy 10 to 12 knots and sailed out to the far side of Weymouth Bay.
Race one saw the fleet split off the line with groups heading left and right, with the right group picking up a good shift. Luke and Emma McEwen took full advantage of this and lead around the top mark. Behind the battle was tight with Tim Gratton (Tim number 2) and Fiona Hampshire holding off Tom Morris and Guy Filmore. So advantage to Luke and Emma.
Race two saw the breeze softer then increase for the second two laps, as the sun came out and windy Weymouth turned it on! Luke and Emma stormed off in the lead with Pete Barton and Chris Feibusch making the most of the puffs down the run to round the gate second closely followed by Rory Hunter and Steph Orton who slowly reeled them in to take second. Tom and Guy's finished fifth. Was this the start of a change in the power struggle with the McEwen's?
The third race was sailed in glorious conditions with the sun out and a 17 knot breeze. At the top Mark Andy and Allyson Jeffries lead the fleet round but were rolled on the first gybe by Tom and Guy who sailed off to another win. Luke and Emma tried everything to catch the championship leaders but there was no stopping them.
Day three looks set to be a repeat of today with the potential for a little more wind.
