JZK with Mike Armstrong and Shaun Dayman was on the front of the grid alongside Phil Morrison and Connor Williams in DD3.

Launching commenced at 13:20, the sky overhead looking much more promising than yesterday. With a no held start both set off straight away. BBB with JP and JB further back on the grid were already making the call to get the trailer hooked up!

The conditions were bordering on the lower end of booming save for the strong wind which obviously didn't favour the wood class.

Task set was POC-NDU-BRN-DON-CHD-NWK-BOT-POC 262km.
DD3 and JZK set off straight away and both made good progress ahead of pretty much the rest of the field JZK getting a bit low on occasions whilst DD3 managed to keep above 2,500ft. JZK managed a task time of 3hrs 32mins beaten to second place in the hot ships class by DD3 who finished in 2hrs 56mins.

Meanwhile BBB managed to get to the first turn point before landing in a field just north of Drax Power Station having managed to stay aloft for about an hour and a half .... as well as secure 3rd place in the wood class.
