Helly Hansen Chester Race Week

Helly Hansen Chester Race Week Day 1

The first day of Helly Hansen Chester Race presented a calm start that eventually shifted to a southeasterly breeze, ending with rain clouds from the north.

Dan Conrod, On-water Chair of Chester Race Week, comments, “We experienced a dynamic day on the water, with a number of significant changes in wind direction. This was a solid day one of competition with plenty of great racing to come.”
