Champagne sailing on Costa del Hayling - 4 races got away cleanly with a fresh breeze for the first two, and a dying breeze for the second two!

Super close racing with three different race winners, and plenty of places gained, lost, and hard fought for all around the racecourse.

Going in to day two, Edd Whitehead lead by just one point!
