Mateusz Kusznierewicz, Przemysław Gacek and Simon Fry, sailing Aspire, take the lead at the 2021 5.5 Metre French Open on Day 2.
After three more races a 1, 2, 4 scoreline put Aspire one point ahead of New Moon II of Mark Holowesko, Peter Vlasov and Christoph Burger, while Day 1 leaders, Momo of Dieter Schön, Markus Wieser and Thomas Auracher drop to third at the Régates Royales in Cannes.
In generally light winds, each of the top three boats won a race on a day that was quite mentally draining and in which the right side tended to bring the biggest benefits.
