Day 2 of the 49er/49erFX World Championships in Lanzarote, got back on track
For the men, the 49er fleet completed three races and with the discard in play there was plenty of movement on the leaderboard.
New leaders are Erwan Fischer and Clément Pequin (3, 1, 3) of France tied on 15 pts with Bart Lambriex and Floris van de Werken (-7, 4, 1) of Holland.
In third is Poland’s Mikołaj Staniul and Jakub Sztorch (-11, 6, 5) on 23 pts, and moving into fourth, after a knock-out day, are Julien D’Ortoli and Noe Delpech (2, 1, 1) on 24 pts.
Both USA teams dropped back, with overnight leaders Andrew Mollerus and Ian Macdiarmid (15, 13, 9) finishing the day in 11th and Ian Barrows and Hans Henken (4, 8, 6) in 7th.
For the Brits James Peters and Fynn Steritt (4, 8, 6) finally found the right gear and after discarding a 16 moved from 14th to 8th overall on 29 pts
Not so good for James Grummett and Rhos Hawes (12, -37, 8) who started the second day in 4th and finished it in 12th with 31 pts.
Thursday is the last day of qualifying races before the fleet will be divided into Gold (top 25), Silver, and Bronze.
The 49erFX women completed just two more races for a total of four races, and the discard applied.
The Netherlands’ Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz (1, 3) top the leaderboard with 5 pts, with Xiaoyu Hu and Mengyuan Shan (2, -18) of China second after discarding an 18 with 6 pts.
Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler of Sweden (3, 2) move into 3rd (up from 11th), with Italy’s Jana Germani and Giorgia Bertuzzi (2, -16) in 4th with 10 pts
Britain’s Freya Black and Saskia Tidey (1, 5) had a much better day winning the opening race and then posting a 5th to gain ten places, now in 10th on 15 pts.
The FX will start racing in the morning Thursday and hopefully get 4 races in.
