Laser 2 Worlds at Weymouth & Portland Sailing Academy Day 3

by Mike Croker 23 Jul 2009 08:33 NZST 18-25 July 2009

Nigel Skudder and Keith Hills maintain their 3 point overall lead after the third day of the Laser II World Championships. Today's racing was delayed by 4 hours to allow the wind to decrease and races were again run inside Portland harbour. Once again it was the German teams of Lisa Buddemeier & Matthias Duwel and Marian & Daniel Scheer who provided the main challenge in the decreasing wind.

With a further decreasing wind forecast for Thursday, the race team have pulled Thursday's first start forward by half an hour to ensure that they get the scheduled 3 races in. Will the forecast lower wind strength favour the chasing German boats: watch this space!
