by Sail-World.com/uk on 12 Aug 2008
Day 4 of the Sailing in Qingdao saw the Laser and Laser Radial join the racing and for Penny Clark it was a great start. Clark who was sixth at the first mark, then moved into second by the third mark and held off a determined challenge from Gintare Volungeviciute of Lithuainia and American, Anna Tunnicliffe on the finish line.

Not such a good start for Paul Goodison in the Laser.

In the second day of racing for the 470, in the Men's event Nick Rogers and Joe Glanfield won race 3, the first race today. Second were Anton Dahlberg and Sebastian Ostling of Sweden and third the Australian pair, Nathan Wilmot and Malcolm Page. In race two Rogers and Glanfield finished fourth and are upto fifth overall before the discard. New overall leaders are the Australians, Wilmot and Page.

In the Women's 470 event, Christina Bassadone and Saskia Clark got the bounce back they were looking for in race three of the 470 event, finishing third, which was won by Nike Kornecki and Vered Buskila of Israel. They followed that with a fourth place in race 4 to finish the day in eighth overall. The Australian pair Elise Rechichi and Tessa Parkinson are the new leaders.
