A change in the weather and a change of leader for day 2 of the International 505 World Championship at Fremantle SC, Australia.
Mike Martin and Adam Lowry of the USA are the new leaders after they added to their win from yesterday with a win in race 3.
They finished ahead of Stefan Koechlin and Andreas Achterberg of Germany. Third place went to Mike Holt and Carl Smit of the USA.
Racing was called off shortly afterwards due to high winds and the boats returned to shore.
Mike’s comment on how to win on the day was “Don’t lead.” As he explained . . . “Everyone who got in front of us, fell over. So we just continued on to the finish line trying our best.”
Martin and Lowry lead with 12 points, followed by Germany’s Wolfgang Hunger and Holger Jess in second place with 24 points. Howard Hamlin and Jeff Nelson of the USA are currently third with 25 points.
Britain’s Ian Pinnell and Reeve Dunn finished in 21st and are now fourth overall with 27 points.
