With a lighter breeze on the second day of racing in the 2006 OK Dinghy World Championships, the New Zealand sailors stamped their authority on the days racing. The wind was quite unstable and produced some major wind shifts, especially during the second race.
Race three was led from start to finish by 2002 World Champion Greg Wilcox, closely followed by Worser Bay team mate Karl Purdie. Race four was also won by Wilcox with Wakatere sailor Mark Perrow second, Purdie third and Russell Wood fourth, completing the kiwi domination of the day.
Wilcox said after the days racing. ‘It was a good days sailing, but there’s still a long way to go.’
Two more races are scheduled for tomorrow with the weather set to return to the 20 knot winds of the previous week.
