U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Sailing Day 2

by US Sailing Team 8 Jan 2024 03:38 GMT January 6-13, 2023

With more races now on the board, points are tightening and tensions heating up on day two of eight of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Sailing. The 470 and 49er course saw winds of 17-22 with shallower, choppier waves than opening day, and the Kite / iQFOiL course kicked off their day with 15 knots that died to 11-12, with light rain showers.

Three 49er teams have punched ahead of the pack and sit within two points of one another with Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid in the lead position for the second day in a row.

In the 470, Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss almost lost their lead, but gained it back by a point following the results of a hearing. The top three Mixed 470s are also within two points of one another, joining the 49ers as the fighting fleets to watch.

The Men's Formula Kite fleet shuffled considerably with Markus Edegran climbing three places to 2nd overall and Kai Calder taking over the lead. Bryn Muller and Anna Weis are tied for second in the Women's iQFOiL with 19 points, behind leader Dominique Stater with 13 points.
