Today the fleet woke up to a forecast that left many concerned we wouldn’t be racing with a prediction of a South Easterly between 3 and 5 knots. Luckily the fleet were blessed with 3 good races for Day 2 of the 2025 Snipe National Championships sponsored by Allen Brothers and Pinnel & Bax. 

Race 1 was sailed in a light Easterly Force 2 breeze with the fleet eager to get racing, there was a single general recall after which the fleet went racing. The race was won by Tim & Kay Tavinor.

Race 2 was sailed in a building Force 2 breeze with Joe Warwicker and Andy Service taking the win.

Following a small wind shift and the course being moved slightly, Race 3 was sailed in a shifty Force 3 under the lee of Bonscale Pike. Race 3 was won by Yohei Koso and Katia Royer.
