Things begin to shake-down with day 2 of the 2025 OK Dinghy World Championship on Lake Garda.
Two more races for the 212 strong fleet saw a sharp break appear with the top five competitors confirming their status . . . out of 12 available race wins so far (racing in three groups), 11 are shared by the top four ranked competitors.
Nick Craig 1 1 3 1, and Andrew Mills 1 1 1 2, top the leaderboard on 3 pts after discard.
Charlie Cumbley 2 3 1 1, and Niklas Edler 2 1 6 1, follow on 4 pts, and Baabii’O Flower 1 3 7 2, follows with 6 pts.
Then it’s Bo Petersen and André Budzien with 7 pts each and without a race win in 6th and 7th.
Even at this early stage of the ten race series, with four races down it is already looking difficult for anyone to make an impression from outside such a low scoring leading group.
The opening series is scheduled to conclude on Wednesday with two more races, and a last chance to break into the final series on Thursday and Friday.
