First day of the RS:X World Championships in Sorrento, Australia, saw both fleets complete three races.
Maja Dziarnowska of Poland leads the women and Pierre Le Coq of France the men.
Dziarnowska (2,5,4) leads the women with 11 points, six points ahead of Britain’s Emma Wilson (8,1,8) with Lilian de Geus (18,3,1) of Holland in third place.
Wilson: “I had three good races. In the top ten in all of them and the second race I won. It was a pretty good day. Everyone doesn’t want to mess it up on the first day and thankfully I didn’t do that.”
In the men, Le Coq (1,2,1) has four points to lead by one point from Kiran Badloe (2,1,2) of Holland, with in third place Thomas Goyard (3,6,2) of France.
Tom Squires (11,9,3) of Britain is in 13th place, Andy Brown (15,15,4) is 18th and Kieran Holmes-Martin 28th.
Squires: “I could have had a shocker today so I’m happy I didn’t. I need to be more confident on the start line and smash some starts.”
