Snakes and ladders conditions cause reshuffle

On day three of the SAP 505 World Championship variable and shifty conditions have affected the top positions. Today's wind of 8 knots came from the easterly direction however the land effect gave the opportunity for the light air specialists to monopolize.

The American team of Conrads and Haines took the early lead in the first race of the day, currently ranked 14th placed boat in the regatta. The leaders were making huge gains opting to beat towards the beach, team Conrads/Haines' win boosts them an incredible 9 positions up the leaderboard to 5th overall.

With a lay day scheduled for today (Tuesday 24th July) many crews will be making the most of the time by taking in the surrounding area of La Rochelle and preparing themselves for race 6 of the 2012 SAP 505 World Championship - Racing will resume at 13:00 CET on Wednesday 25th July at www.SAP505worlds.com
