Day two of racing at the 57th Semaine Olympique Française in Hyères — second stop of the Sailing Grand Slam with 705 competitors from 59 nations.
With the end of the preliminary series, the dinghies split into gold and silver Elimination series fleets from Wednesday.
With the new scoring format all points from the opening two days are dropped and ranking positions are carried forward instead.
Top placed British Team competitors at this early are Mickey BECKETT now leading the ILCA 7 with Elliot HANSOn in second and Lorenzo MAYER of France third. Aussie Matt WEARN is fourth.
Martin WRIGLEY and Bettine HARRIS are second in the 470, behind Giacomo FERRARI and Alessandra DUBBINI of Italy.
Third in the Nacra17 are John GIMSON and Anna BURNET with 24 pts, some way off Italy’s Ruggero TITA and Caterina BANTI leading with 9 pts.
On the boards Lily YOUNG is the best placed Brit in fourth place in the Formula Kite, and Sam DICKINSON tenth in the men.
China continues to shine on the Europe circuit with Kun BI second in the iQFOIL men and Zheng YAN leading the women, while Si WANG is second in the Kite. Added to that are Yingqian WANG and Xiaoya SU leading the 49erFX.
With the fleets reset the next three days of elimination racing will decide who makes the top 10 and the new style medal series.
