2015 Laser World Championship - Tricky day 6

by Marianne Davis on 8 Jul 2015 The day began with strong winds of 15 knots from the south. As the day progressed the wind lowered to eight knots, and kept competitors on their toes with tricky conditions and shifting winds.

Previous regatta leader Philipp Buhl, Germany, had a tough day, finishing 15, 16 and 27, dropping to third overall, with Great Britain’s Nick Thompson moving up to first. Thompson stayed at the front of the pack, playing the breeze and finishing seven, two, four. Thompson has a 20 point lead going into the final day of racing. Australia’s Tom Burton moved up to second today with a fifteen, twenty seven, two.

Tonci Stipanovic representing Croatia moved from tenth to fourth today, with a bullet in race one, and third in race three. He was able to drop his second race of 27, to end one point behind Buhl. Pavlos Kontides, Cyprus, had a strong day, placing second and sixth in the first two races. He finished the last race in 12th and was able to move up in the rankings from twenty-fourth to fifth. USA’s Christopher Barnard placed 14th in the first two races, and fifth in the third race to finish the day in sixth overall. Brazil’s Bruno Fontes is close behind Barnard. Matthew Wearn AUS, Charlie Buckingham USA, Sam Meech NZL and Kacper Zieminski POL sit eighth to eleventh overall, with few points separating them before the last day of racing tomorrow.

Yesterday Stephano Peschiera from Peru, qualified his nation for a spot in the 2016 Olympic Games. This is the first time Peru has earned a sailing berth in the Olympics through the qualification process. Seven other nations earned their Olympic Berth by sailors qualifying for Gold fleet, with one berth still undecided. It will go to the top sailor in silver flight representing an unqualified nation. Joaquin Blanco, Spain and Alexandr Denisiuc, Moldova are the top two competitors in Silver flight who’s nation have yet to qualify.

Tomorrow is the last day of Laser Standard World Championship Racing on Kingston Waters. Racing begins at 0900, with three races scheduled.
