Laser Radial Worlds - Bouwmeester increases lead after Day 4 + Results

by Sail-World.com NZL and Laser International on 18 Apr 2016 The Qualifying rounds of the 2016 Laser Radial Worlds concluded on Banderas Bay, Mexico after four days of racing.

Originally eight races were scheduled, but the round finished one short due to light and shifting winds.

The 71 strong fleet from 33 countries was split into two fleets (Yellow and Blue) for the Qualifying, which are balanced with a mix of competitors of all score totals. The competitors will now be split into Gold and Silver fleets for the remaining three days of competition.

Former world champion and 2012 Olympic silver medalist, Marit Bouwmeester (NED) doubled her lead to 10 points after she placed second in today's races. Second overall is 2016 US Olympic representative Paige Railey (USA). She is four points clear of tied Alison Young (GBR) and Erika Reineke (USA).

The starting sequence for the first race (R7 for Yellow) began at 1400h, but a shift to the right led to a postponement. After settling in at about 10 knots from WSW, this fleet started cleanly, but a general recall for the Blue Fleet gave time for the wind to shift back to the left. Race committee adjusted the course, and the Blue Fleet started under a black flag restriction in 12-14 knots of building breeze and clearing skies.

But the wind oscillations in that first hour foretold the challenges to race committee for the afternoon. A general recall for R8-Yellow led to further postponements as the race committee adjusted marks and the line as the wind continued to oscillate and lessen. That fleet started, but the race was abandoned on the first beat as the winds became less stable, with variability in strength and direction across the course. The Blue Fleet never started, and all competitors were sent in for the day.

The scores in all races (Qualifying, Finals and for the top ten Medal Race) count to a sailor’s final score.
