A very different weather pattern for day 2 of the Enoshima Olympic Test Event with on shore postponements due to lack of wind.
Racing eventually got underway in 6 to 10 knots of breeze and plenty of sunshine, with temperatures around 32 deg C.
Still problems with the race results programme so overall results are hard to come by, for some reason everything is converted to pdf before being posted, no rolling scoring is available.
After the great start for the British Team Saturday in ideal conditions, the momentum suffered for some in today’s lighter conditions, not just for the Brits.
Britain’s Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey (1,4,1,2,2) took two second places in the 49erFX to stay top of the leaderboard after 5 races. Winner of R4 was Nass and Ronningen NOR, winner R5 was Grael and Kunze BRA who stay in second place overall.
In the women’s 470 race 3, Agnieszki Skrzypulec and Jolanta Ogar (1,4,1) of Poland took their second race win and are the new leaders. Hannah Mills and Eilidh Mcintyre (3,2,3) had a third and slip to fourth overall.
Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti (1,3,1,3,2) of Italy keep their lead in the Nacra 17, with Britain’s Ben Saxton and Nicola Boniface (3,2,4,4,10) moving into second place. John Gimson and Anna Burnet (8,5,5,7,7) are in sixth place.
In the men’s RS:X, Tom Squires keeps his sceond place overall, despite a 16th in race 4 (discarded). Thomas Goyard of France keeps the overall lead, while China’s Mengfan Gao won the only race and moves into 3rd overall.
Two races for the women’s RS:X, and despite some high scoring in the leading group, Yunxiu Lu (1,9) of Chine keeps her lead, with Charline Picon (2,12) of France moving into second place. Emma Wilson (9,11) is in fourth tied on points with third placed Maja Dziarnowska of Poland.
Britain’s Giles Scott (1,6,2) takes the lead in the Finn after just one more race Sunday. Second is Zsombor Berecz (3,1,3) of Hungary tied on 4 points with Nicholas Heiner (2,2,7) of Holland.
No change to the leaders in the men’s 470, Spain’s Jordi Xammar and Nicolas Rodriguez (1,1,4) leads from Matt Belcher and Will Ryan (2,3,3) of Australia. Race 3 winners were Geison Mendes and Gustavo Theison of Brazil.
Britain’s Luke Patience and Chris Grube (17,7,12) made no progress, they remain in 13th overall.
High scoring by the overnight leaders in the Radial event, but due to the discard no change to the top 3. Maria Erdi (1,2,35) of Hungary leads. The winner of race 3 was Vikoriia Andrulyte LTU.
Britain’s Alison Young (3,8,24) was also a high scorer and slips to fifth overall.
Something of a shake-up in the men’s 49er with Pawel Koldzinski and Lukasz Przybytek (2,4,7,2,3) of Poland scoring well to take the overall lead.
Second are Pete Burling and Blair Tuke (3,1,1,13,9) with Ben Bildstein and David Hussl of Austria moving into third place. Britain’s Dylan Fletcher and Stu Bithell (1,10,4,10,10) drop to sixth place overall.
In the men’s Laser, Kiwi Sam Meech keeps the lead courtesy of the discard after a 13th place finish. Up into second comes Norway’s Herman Tomasgaard (9,1,3), with Jean Baptiste Bernaz (3,3,25) of France third.
Britain’s Elliot Hanson (17,25,7) had a better day with a 7th and is now 14 overall.
Forecast is for light winds to continue next couple of days.
Monday all fleets are scheduled to sail three races, apart from the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 fleets, which will sail four.
