Thailand Pre worlds Day Two

25 March 2014

The fleet experienced a glorious day on the water today. Sun, 10 knots of breeze from the south west and a bit of tide made life challenging but tight through the fleet.

The left side of the course favoured off the start in both races.  In the first race Heather and Chris rounded in front closely followed Nathan and Sam, then a big bunch behind.

 Christian and Sam moved through to second on the second lap but were quickly moved back after their second pumping infringement for the week. They held on to third in front of Ben and Doug who just crept through Tom Gordon and Jack Fletcher who rounded out the top five.

 In the second race overlaying the first mark on the left was an advantage. Again Heather and Chris came in hot but were just pipped by Nathan and Sam. Both got bouy room on Ben and Doug who rounded out the top three.  Christian and Sam moved into third after going high around the top mark and Jack and Tom moved from fifth to fourth at the gybe mark.

The only change from here on came when Christian and Sam goit thirsty and headed for home.  Nathan and Sam went on for a comfortable win followed by Heather and Chris. Tom and Jack held on to third just ahead of Ben and Doug.

 So after four races Heather is still on the Margaritas. Ben and Doug have moved to second and Veronica and Ben have slipped to third.

Finally before we call it a day Fireball International woukld like to wish Lance a speedy recovery and hope he will be on the water later this week.
