Day 2 of the 2023 OK World Championships at Lyme Regis
After two more races and a discard in play, the leaderboard has a very different look with Britain’s Nick Craig (1, 4) and Sweden’s Niklas Edler (3, 2) tied for the lead with 6 pts.
Then comes Jens Eckardt (1, DSQ) of Denmark tied on 7 pts with Valerian Lebrun (4, 1) of France, and on 10 pts Matt Howard (DSQ, 1) of Britain, enjoying the increased breeze and sea-state of the second race.
Behind this leading group it is still very tight with Bo Petersen (5, 5) and Andy Mills (2, 4) on 11 pts, defending champion Charlie Cumbley (RET, 5) on 13 pts after breaking his tiller extention, and Henry Wetherall (3, 3) maintaining a single figure scoreline on 14 pts.
Note that Valerian Lebrun has the best four race total – 11pts – something that could come into play as the event continues.
In the top three Eckardt and Craig each have two race wins in the bag, and reasonable discards, again something that could come into play after the final two opening series races on Wednesday.
The fleet will be assigned to gold and silver fleets for the final two days racing comprising of four final series races Thursday and Friday.
