Second day racing for the 49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17 and the 470 Olympic classes at the 2023 World Championships at The Hague, Holland.
In the men’s 49er Bart Lambriex and Floris van de Werken (NED) move into first place overall in very tough conditions.
The pair were second in the first race of day two, and then won the remaining two races as the breeze built to the edge of sailability.
Lukasz Przybytek and Jacek Piaseck (POL) also improved, now second, and third are Sime Fantela and Mihovil Fantela (CRO)
Britain’s James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (2, 5, 8) move up into 9th. While Chris Taylor and Rhos Hawes (6, 6, 10) slip to 18th.
In the women’s 49erFX , the Swedes Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler have now taken a six-point lead through six races. While Isaura Maenhaut and Anouk Geurts (BEL) and Olivia Price and Evie Haseldine (AUS), are tied on 12 pts in second.
Freya Black and Saskia Tidey of Britain (10, -11, 2 ) were up and down, finishing the day in eighth.
Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti (-2, 1,1) are still in complete control of the Nacra 17 even if they were beaten for the first time in the competition.
Leading by 2 pts from Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer (2,1,2) of Germany in second and Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet (3, 3, 1) in third.
And in the mixed 470, Japan’s Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka (1, 6) continue to lead the way with a 5 pt lead from Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson (SWE).
In third place are Simon Diesch and Anna Markfort (1, 5) of Germany tied on 15 pts with Tetsuya Isozaki Yurie Seki (-12, 1) of Japan on 15 pts.
Best placed British crew are Charlotte Leigh and Ryan Orr (6, 13) in 11th, but it seems Vita Heathcote and Chris Grube liked the conditions, with a 6 and 2 placed 24th.
Sunday 13 August the ILCA 6 and 7 single-handers start their qualification racing series, and the 470 dinghy have a lay day.
Monday the men and women’s Formula Kite fleets start their series.
