Laser 2 Worlds at Weymouth & Portland Sailing Academy Day 2

by Mike Croker 21 Jul 2009 17:29 BST 18-25 July 2009

Nigel Skudder and Keith Hills tightened their hold on the Laser II World Championships over races 4 to 6, which were run inside Portland harbour in deference to the wind gusting 25 knots. Once again it was the German teams of Lisa Buddemeier & Matthias Duwel and Marian & Daniel Scheer who provided the main challenge.

The race team again put on a slick performance, with minimal waiting time between races, although their ambition to get an extra race in the bag was thwarted as the wind continued to rise and the safety crews became more active.

Attentions now turn to Wednesday's forecast, which is currently for even more wind! Watch this space for developments.
