Yngling Worlds Australians lead after first two races

by Sacha Oswald RYA on 24 Jul 2002 Lake Lucerne, Switzerland: After a postponement on shore waiting for the
wind to show its face, it finally appeared and boats left the shore at 12.30
pm. Two races were sailed in shifty conditions, which saw many race leaders
throughout each of the races.

Both races saw different race winners, but the tricky conditions made for a
high scoring first day.

Racing continues through until Friday, with a lay day on Wednesday, although
the feeling is that racing will continue right through as the forecast looks
set to go light towards the end of the week and the race committee want to
make sure that they fit in the ten race series. -- Sacha Oswald, RYA
