Solo Nationals at Felpham Sailing Club - Day 2

by Claire Clark - Solo Publicity Officer 31 Jul 2006 23:29 BST 30 July - 4 August 2006

Day 2 of the Holt sponsored National Championships dawned with broken cloud and stronger winds than forecast. Only half the competitors braved the conditions with many coming in after the first race. The wind strengthened so much that chips were blowing off plates in the lunch break!

In the first race of the day Steve Cockerill round well ahead of the 2nd placed boat but had been caught by the leeweard mark. However Cockerill held his lead to take 1st from Morley in 2nd.

By the start of the second race the wind had reached a force 5-6. Cockerill again showed his strength in these conditions however he dropped it at the gybe at the leeward mark allowing Jamie Lea who wore round to take the lead which he held to the finish with Cockerill recovering well in 2nd.

Race 3:
1st Steve Cockerill
2nd Alister Morley
