The Kiwi sailors had a great first day of the 2008 World Laser Masters Championships being held at Terrigal, NSW, Australia.
Scott Leith (Apprentice Master) & Mark Orams (Master) won their races with Rex Maddren 7th(Grand Master) & brother Colin 2nd & Tom Speed 3rd in the Great Grand Master fleet in the single races sailed in the Radial fleets. The Standard fleets were held on shore waiting for the Radial fleets to complete the scheduled 2 races before having their turn on the race course. With 365 sailors the race committee is struggling to manage with the large fleet and does not have enough rescue boats to run two courses, therefore while the Radials sail the Standard fleets are on shore waiting and tomorrow the Standard fleets will sail first with the Radials waiting.
