Three races were achieved today in Day 2 of the Navigators and General Mirror National Championships despite heavy rain showers and massive shifts in the wind. General Recalls, Black Flags and big shifts seconds before the start became the order of the day and presented significant challenges to Principal Race Officer Sean Semmens and his team from Brixham YC.
