Second day of competition at the RS:X 2020 European Championships taking place at Vilamoura , Portugal.
A better day for the British competitors, the wet and windy conditions more to their liking . . . 15 to 30 knots, pouring rain and glorious sunshine.
All in one day!
Emma Wilson finishing the day in third place and Tom Squires in eleventh place.
Both winning a race on the way to improving their overall positions.
But after six races and the first discard kicking in, there was no change to the overall leaders, with Charline Picon (-10, 1, 1) of France leading the women and Israel’s Yoav Cohen (2, 5, 4) the men.
While Charline Picon continued to dominate the women’s event, Byron Kokkalanis of Greece was the stand-out performer for the men, where two race wins and the discard of the 30th from yesterday, rocketed him into third overall.
