Thanks to John Taylor for these words about racing on day 1

Today saw 20 skippers arrive at Princess Park, Eastbourne. The wind conditions were light and variable during the morning session. which made the race officer reconsider his course numerous times.
Racing got underway with John Tushingham, Graham Elliott and Achilles Chatin (France) all winning races. It was noticeable that the lighter displacement designs were excelling in the light wind conditions.
In the afternoon session, the wind strengthened a little.

The full results (21 races!) after day 1 of 2 can be seen here
