J24 World Championships Day One

by Kathy Taylor (Amended by SW) on 8 Mar 2007
Brazil's Mauricio Santa Cruz sits atop the leader board after two races were completed in the J/24 World Championship, followed by four USA teams, there are seven US teams in the top ten.

Winds from 8-10 knots shifted across Banderas Bay on the first day of the 2007 UBS J/24 World Championship in Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico. A flurry of activity in the Protest Room means the opening day results are preliminary, with defending champion Mauricio Santa Cruz (BRA) and his Bruschetta team holding the provisional lead.

The shifty conditions resulted in three general recalls at the start of race 1 before the Race Committee put up the Black Flag. Race 2 had a clean start and the afternoon breeze filled in for some close results. David Klatt (USA) won the first race and Mark Hillman (USA) won the second. Mauricio Santa Cruz finished third in both races.

A flurry of activity in the Protest Room followed the racing, but in the preliminary results, Santa Cruz leads, followed by USA’s Mike Ingham and Brian Cramp, with Ryan Cox (USA) in third. Mexico’s 2007 National Champion Kenneth Porter scored an impressive sixth place in this first day of racing.
