Flying 15 pre-worlds event - day 2

by Gerald New on 7 Jun 2007 For the second day of the Flying 15 pre-worlds event on the Bay of Pollenca, Mallorca it was the Irish pair, Darren Martin and Simon Murray who stormed to the top of the table after two more races.

Martin and Murray won the first race and then finished second to the Kiwi team, Aaron Goodmanson and Alister Rowlands. This put Martin and Murray first overall after four races.

A 71 boat fleet started Wednesday in a 9 to 10 knot breeze and after a general recall the black flag was out. This made the fleet a bit more cautious and the restart was successful. Martin and Murray won ahead of Nick and Janet Jerwood of Australia with locals, Paco Ibáñez and Juan Ignacio Merayo (ESP)in third.

The second race of the day the fleet got away first time. This race went to Goodmanson and Rowlands (NZL) with Martin and Murray (IRL) and Mike Hart and Tim Hall (GBR ) in third.

First day leaders, Grant Alderson and Dean McAullay (AUS) dropped back to seventh overall after a 26 and 13 in races 3 and 4.
