Kiwi sailors Andrew Mckee and Matt Bismark sailed strongly to take second and Australia's Norman Rydge and Richard Scarr were third finishing off a great day for them.

Overall placing's see Hungarian sailors Majthenyi and Domokos take a 1 point lead over Australian’s Rydge and Scarr second and with Kiwi’s Paul Scoffin and Pavel Ruzicka in third after four races completed.

Australian Richard Scarr commented this afternoon to Sail-World

‘Today was very light, with 30 degree shifts. It was just 5 to 7 knot with choppy short waves, with pressure coming from both sides of the course. Pressure was king. Down wind sailing hot angles was paying, but getting deep when you could on the waves was important. Tomorrow will be the telling day.’
