Second day of racing at the 3rd round of the Vilamoura Sailing Portugal Grand Prix for the Lasers, Radial, 49er and 49erFX completed.
Not many Brits here, but in the women’s Radial there is Alison Young, struggling in the light breeze on day 1, and did not compete on day 2. Young is 19th overall with her two results from day 1.
Leading the Radial is Maud Jayet of Switzerland, who is very happy in these conditions, taking two wins in the four races to lead by six points from Mirthe Akkerman of Holland.
Day 2 provided more wind to liven things.
In the men’s Laser, Jean Bernaz of France leads with ten points, five points ahead of Hermann Tomasgaard of Norway with Brazil’s Robert Scheidt in third place.
In the men’s 49er, Diego Botin and Iago Lopez hold an nine point lead from Jonas Warrer and Jakob Jensen of Denmark.
In the women’s 49erFX, Spain’s Támara Echgoyen and Paula Barcelo count three race wins to lead by seven points from Victoria Travascio and Sol Branz of Argentina.
