Toby Bush and Kemmel Thorogood increase their grip on the International Cadet 2022 World Championship.
The British pair won two of the three races completed on day 2 to take their points total to seven after five races.
Australia’s Max and John Sturman picked-up the day’s other race win, and added second and third place finishes to jump into second place with 22pts.
Now in third place are Hamish Collingridge and Rhona Enkel of Britain, a 6 4 2 giving them 25pts and placing them above Australia’s Luca Groves and Adela Thomas, who finished the day with a 2 7 8 scoreline on 33pts.
Australia’s Ben and Will Garner (8 9 14) dropped to fifth with 37 pts, and Faye Read and Olive Hooper (7 11 10) to sixth place on 38pts.
If yesterday’s breeze wasn’t enough to challenge the fleet, the day 2 addition of a solid swell off the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria definitely was.
The battle between the heavier crews raged on with some close racing through the top of the fleet, but also some incredibly tight tussles through the middle order.
Racing continues through to 2 January with a possible 12 races scheduled.
