Day 2 of the RS:X World Championships on Lake Garda and three races were finally completed for all fleets.
Good day for the French men as Pierre Le Coq won two of his flight races and Louis Giard won one, while Carlo Ciabatti of Italy also took a race win, and the Dutch top competitors, Kiran Badloe and Dorian van Rijsselberghe, each took a win.
This puts Le Coq 2 points ahead of Kiran Badloe (4,2,1) of Holland, with Piotr Myszka (5,4,6) of Poland in third place.
Britain’s Tom Squires (7,38,3) drops to fourth overall and Andy Brown (13,11,14) is 21st overall.
In the women’s event, Lilian De Geus (2,1,7) of Holland takes the lead ahead of Yunxiu Lu (4,3,4) of China, with Italy’s Marta Maggetti (15,6,5) third.
Britain’s Emma Wilson (7,38,3) is fourth and leading U21. Saskia Sills (6,19,3) is 6th, Bryony Shaw (28,40,13) is 37th and Alysia Gibson (14,3,29) is 39th overall.
Conditions quickly improved from the early morning and by the time the women had left the beach it was a solid 15 knots with gusts of 18 knots – perfect windsurfing conditions to show the RS:X at maximum performance.
With the fleets split into gold and silver, racing on Thursday and Friday will move into the finals series, with the Medal races for the top ten on Saturday.
