On Saturday, perfect sailing conditiond (if a little chilly) greeted the sailors at this event being held at Oxford Sailing Club.
At the end if the first day, five rounds of the competition has been sailed and tomorrow the competition will split into four mini-leagues of 6 teams each. Super Gold, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Three teams from Super Gold and one from Gold will then progress to the knock out stage. Three teams from Silver and one from Bronze will also have a knock out competition.
