2010 Optimist Worlds, Langkawi, Malaysia International Optimist Dinghy Association (IODA) http://www.optiworld.org/
IODA World Sailing Championship, Langkawi, Malayisa.

Today the wind delivered 15-­18 knots and those sailors who had found the light and shifty conditions so difficult, relished the increased breeze. Noppakao Poonpat, despite an OCS in the second race and a 16th in the final race of the day, remains ahead by eight points of Ahmad Syukri Bin Abdul Aziz (Malaysia).

Tomorrow is the final day with just one race, after which the Optimist World Champion will be crowned.

2nd MAS MAS 1 GREEN Ahmad Syukri Bin Abdul Aziz
3rd SIN 55 YELLOW Ryan Lo Jun Han
