Pwllheli Nationals 2012 Day 2
The waves made the three races of Day 2 very challenging and it took most crews race or two before they figured out their manoeuvres.
Clive Everest extended his lead on the championships with another two firsts, and a second in some challenging conditions, closely followed by Eddie and Graham Bridle in Riot Van.
In the middle of the fleet the 97 rules club were showing their speed in the wind and waves, with some impressive performances from Tim and Kate Noyce in Comfortably Numb just behind Stu Hopson and Ben Howett in Born Slippy.
By race 5 the waves had built even further, which seemed to suit Elanor who improved on a 4th and a 3rd in the previous two races to score their first win of the championships.
