French Olympic Week – Day 2

It was a waiting game on the Mediterranean today, with light winds struggling to fill the bay and making racing tricky! After a long day of patience across the fleets, the breeze finally arrived late, allowing the Nacra 17s to squeeze in their third race just before sunset. The 470s and FXs completed their scheduled races in the fickle conditions, while the iQFOiLs and ILCAs each got one race away. Sadly for the 49ers, it was a day left waiting, with no racing completed.

But tomorrow promises a whole new challenge, a strong Mistral is forecast to blast through, bringing winds over 20 knots and setting up a fast and furious Day 3.

Here’s how the Aussies are sitting after Day 2:

1st – Grae Morris (iQFOiL)
5th – Brin Liddell & Rhiannan Brown (Nacra 17)
8th – Archie Gargett & Sarah Hoffman (Nacra 17)
10th – Sylvie Stannage (ILCA 6)
10th – Jack Ferguson & Jack Hildebrand (49er)
