The wind didn't come in on Tuesday, leaving the results as they were after Monday: Chile's Clemente Seguel on top with four bullets in four races.
Seguel, 16, finished second in last-year's Youth Worlds in Peru. New York's Nicholas Patin was second with six points and New Jersey's Nicholas Reyes was third with nine points.
It's been a hot and humid start to the North American's week in Lewes, DE. Monday's temps touched 100 degrees with a heat index of more than 115 degrees. Tuesday was a bit cooler (95 degrees). But the wind just didn't come in for the youths.
Only five sailors competed, however a few international youths opted to skip the event and focus on the open championship, which begins on Wednesday.
