The ACO 11th Musto Skiff World Championships 2022 opened with four races on Thursday at Kiel Week, after the first day’s racing was cancelled due to the lack of wind.
With the first discard already taken, early leader is South African Andy Tarboton with six points, two points ahead of Rick Peacock and three ahead of Robert Richardson of Britain.
In fourth place is Jamie Hilton tied on 12 points with Robbie Wilson, and then in sixth place is Paul Dijkstra of the Netherlands.
Richardson opened his championship with back-to-back wins, the first ahead of Spain’s Mario Barcelo and the second ahead of Tarboton.
Then in race 3, Dijkstra took a win ahead of Peacock, with Tarboton in third place and Richardson slippoing to a seventh place.
In the final race of the day Tarboton finally nailed a race win and was able to drop a 12th place from the opening race to take the overall lead.
The first race in particular saw some high scores from expected front runners . . . Wilson with a 30, Dijkstra with a 27 and even Tarboton with a 12 before they settled into the conditions.
