Day 2 of the Rolly’s Brownies Moth Nationals saw the Mothies  greeted by a 16 knot breeze from the west, which was building before the start of the first race reaching 20+ across the race course. The fleet was now fully fuelled up with Brownies from our generous sponsor this year, and as the wind built a bit more with gusts of 27 knots on the Portland harbour  race track it took its toll on the fleet which saw only 39 finish the race!! Thankfully the race team turned everything around excellently today, providing a bit more excitement by using a small start line which added some spice to the remaining 2 races which ran over 3 laps.

Race 4 followed a familiar pattern, with Rob Greenhalgh leading off the start line to the finish. Chris Rashley was showing good pace to finish 2^nd with Simon Hiscocks in 3^rd. James Phare showed a return to form and finished 4^th even though he missed the start. 3 different boat manufacturers in the top 4!

Race 5 saw a very different group of people hit the front with Chris Rashley winning his first race of the series with Tom Offer posting his best result of the regatta in 2^nd place. Mike Lennon showed some pace in the windiest race of the championships coming home in 3^rd.

Race 6 was sailed in slightly less wind with Simon Hiscocks showing excellent pace working his way through the fleet posting Mach2’s first win of the event with a KA16. Rob had a return to form posting a second place with Chris Rashley in 3^rd. Tom Offer showed excellent downwind pace on the 2^nd lap moving from just inside the top 10 to finish 4^th overall. James Phare also posted another strong result in 5^th finishing off an excellent day for his Ninja.
