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).
