Day 2 of the men’s 49er 2022 World Championship saw the teams playing catch-up.
With four races now on the scoreboard and the first discard removing some day 1 upsets, it is Bart Lambriex and Floris van de Werken of Holland who take the lead with a 2, 1, 1 scoreline setting a very high bar.
Lambriex and Werken lead with 4pts, second are Sime and Mihovil Fantela (2,1,5) of Croatia with 6pts and third Diego Botin and Florian Trittel (1,7,3) of Spain on 10pts.
Britain’s Chris Taylor and Rhos Hawes came down to earth after their win on day 1, with a 11, 10, 11 to finish the day in 12th with 22pts.
And James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (9,9,4) were moving in the right direction and after dropping the 20 from day 1 are 14th also with 22pts.
Nick Robins and Daniel Budden (10,DSQ,21) are in 42nd with 52pts.
With the 49ers behind schedule on the races, the plan is for four back-to-back races on Friday.
