- Race 2 winner Jørgen Schönherr (DEN) and Markus Koy (GER)
- Overall leader Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA)
An impressive race 2 win to Jørgen Schönherr (DEN) and Markus Koy who controlled the fleet from start to finish.
But it is Italy’s Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi, who now count two second places, who take the lead over Paul Cayard (USA) and Frithjof Kleen on 6 pts, with Croatia’s day 1 winners Tonci Stipanovic and Tudor Bilic in third with 8 pts.
The day 2 win moves Schönherr and Koy from 12th up into fourth overall with 13 pts
Fifth are Eric Doyle (USA) and Payson Infelise tied on 15 pts and Mateusz Kusznierewicz (POL) and Bruno Prada.
Anticipating the wind would go left, Schönherr and Koy opted for the port pin end start. While the shift didn’t materialize, their positioning and boat speed kept them ahead, with Negri and Lambertenghi on their tail the whole race.
Negri and Lambertenghi were ever present in attack, building on every puff in the final leg to hunt down the race leaders.
Negri has a battle on his hands to defend his 2021 Star Worlds title, with a fleet full of former World Champions hoping to add another gold star to their trophy cabinet . . . especially at this 100th Anniversary event.
Among the UFD penalties on day 2 were Marin Misura and Tonko Barac (CRO) fourth on day 1, they now sit in 41st and Joshua Powell and Mark Strube (USA) ninth Monday they drop to 48th overall.
