The second day of the Zhik 2016 Cadet National Championship had everything - brilliant sunshine, 45 degree wind shifts, no wind, hailstones, thunder and lightening - not easy for any sailor or the PRO. The fleet launched at 10.15, sailing out into Weymouth Harbour, then straight back to WPNSA when the wind quickly disappeared. After the sailors had been ashore for around fifteen minutes, notice was given that they would shortly head back again to the race course. Three races were finally completed in very shifty conditions with Jamie Harris and Antonia Wilkinson securing three straight bullets and now lead the championship with only 9 points after 7 races.
