IRC Class 2
Corby 33 'No Retreat' currently 8th after scoring 15th, 12th and a 3rd.
In IRC Class Two, Steve Northmore's A35, Waterjet could only manage sixth in race one, but reveled in the stronger breeze to win the next two races to lead the class. By comparison, Chris & Hanna Neve's First 34.7, No Doubt won the first race, but two fourths knocked them back to second overall. Beating the other First 34.7s will be a lift to the husband and wife team from Lymington. Jonty Layfield's J 39, Sleeper,recovered from a poor first race to post two podium finishes and claim third place in class after three races.
IRC Class 3
Great to see Adam Gosling back in a Corby design, this time in a 30 one-off. 3rd place after scoring 4th, 1st and 3rd.
In IRC Class Three, Peter Morton's Quarter Tonner, Anchor Challenge was in devastating form, winning race one by a good margin. However Adam Gosling's Corby 30, Yes! corrected out to win race two. Paul Kelsey's Quarter Tonner, Runaway Bus was the victor in the last race of the day. Anchor Challenge leads the class, but will have to carry an 11 point discard for the rest of the regatta, after not finishing the last race of the day. Runaway Bus is just a point behind with Yes! in third on count back. IRC Class Three is proving to be a highly competitive division.
