The breeze at Point Jerningham settled at around 8-10 knots enabling a clear, but delayed, start for Race 3 at 1250hrs.
There was profound ‘argie-bargie’ all day with a game of ‘virtual dodgems’ between current World Champion, Thomas Hansson-Mild of Sweden, past Pommie World Champ Nick Craig and Terry Curtis of UK, Soenke Behrens of Germany, Christian Hedlund of Denmark, and the local boys. Over the course of Day 2, in Races 3, 4 and 5, they were all ‘up there’, first around the marks at one stage or other.
At the end of Day 2, after five races, the provisional results are as follows – 1) Paul Rhodes, NZL 2) Karl Purdie, NZL 3) Steve Mc Dowell, NZL 4) Nick Craig, GBR 5) Greg Wilcox, NZL 6) Thomas Hansson-Mild, SWE 7) Michael Williams, AUS 8) Terry Curtis, GBR 9) Matt Steven, NZL 10) Luke O’Connell, NZL
We are looking forward to the last day of racing tomorrow, hopefully, with a good breeze present early in the day, so that they guys can get on and off the water in good time for the evening prizegiving and Kiwiana BBQ.
Full results can be found on the homepage of the OK Worlds website, where regular updates will be posted during the course of racing.
