Day one of the 2014 Line 7 Marine Port Nicholson Regatta got away without a hitch with four races in both divisions and a pecking order beginning to be established.
Jamie McDowell and his crew on Black Diamond got off to a good start picking up the first two races in Div A on PHRF and rounding out the day with two second places. Not to be outdone Paul Snowden (CU) stormed home with two first places in the final two races meaning it is tightĀ at the top in Div A.
In Div B Brian Cowper and his crew on Baccante got off to a great start with a 2 1 1 PHRF score sheet and a 7th overall in the harbour race to lead the fleet comfortably from Sausy Sausage and Whistler III.
