After 3 days of racing and 6 races, the 2008 National Champions Dave Wade and Ben McGrane have a slender lead over the chasing boats. In particular reigning champions Matt Burge and Richard Wagstaff and the early leaders of the event Martyn Lewis and Richard Byne.
On Sunday 2 races were held in the Carrick Roads in light conditions and some tight racing took place. Monday saw exhilarating conditions in Falmouth Bay with the wind touching 28 Knots during 2nd race, definitely a two pasty day! Tuesday's racing was again windy with conditions moderating during the afternoon. Competitors have taken the opportunity to see the original Fireball at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth on the layday, 2 more races are scheduled for both Thursday and Friday to complete the Championship.
