Joaquin Acevedo of Peru won his two fiights to lead overall, with a two point advantage from Ukraine’s Olha Lubianska (1, 3), Spain’s María Antonia Penalver (2, 2) and Alejandro Valero (2, 2).
In fifth place is Paloma Barrera-Davila (2, 3) of the USA, and sixth is Britain’s Jonny Rogers (3, 3).
Also well placed from the British entries is Charlie Holland (10, 2) in 12th. With only two flight races completed things are very tight in the leading group and major changes can be expected.
After the lost first day at the Real Club Náutico de Valencia, day 2 was long and complicated by an unstable and strong wind, resulting in two races completed for the five groups.
For Saturday the qualifying series will continue with the aim of close it with two more races, to allow the final series on Sunday with the Gold, Silver, Bronze, Emerald and Orchid groups.
