Races 6, 7 and 8 on day three of the RS800 National Championships were once again sailed out in the glorious waters of Weymouth Bay in a steadily building WSW breeze.
Class newbie Tom Morris with veteran crew Guy Fillmore dominated with blistering boat speed to fire in three bullets all but sewing up the Championship win.
All three races were sailed in the sort of conditions that the RS800s revel in, bouncing over the waves of Weymouth bay in 20 knots plus. No other boat offers this kind of exhilaration and attainable performance that had all the crews grinning from ear to ear regardless of where they finished on the race course.
Behind the dominant pair of Tom and Guy the fight for 2nd place is truly on between former National Champions and reigning European Champions, Luke and Emma McEwen and the scratch team of Rory Hunter and Steph Orton in their 17 year old borrowed boat going into the final day.
Further down the racing has been incredibly close with the top 10 tightly bunched and many gains or losses to be made up and down the order as the Championship reaches its climax on Sunday.
