Athletes at the 2020 Hempel World Cup Series Enoshima were met with trying conditions on day two. With gusts of up to 30 knots and 2.5-meter waves, only three fleets were able to race. The Finn men finished one race while the RS:X Men and Women's fleets sailed three and two races, respectively.

The two US Sailing Team Finn athletes both managed to battle the breeze and finish their only race of the day in the top 10. Luke Muller (Fort Pierce, Fla.) and Caleb Paine (San Diego, Calif.) finished in seventh and ninth place, respectively. Thanks to today's finishes, Muller and Paine are currently tied with each other and Finnish athlete, Oskari Muhonen, for ninth through 11th place.

Muller especially enjoyed today's conditions. "We had an awesome day. The downwinds were really loose, everyone was just trying to keep everything together and go as fast as they could while staying up-right," he said. "Fortunately, I was able to do that and ended up seventh in the race it, so today was a good day scores-wise and a blast considering everything else.

In addition to Muller and Paine, the only other U.S. athlete to compete today was Men's RS:X athlete, Pedro Pascual (West Palm Beach, Fla.). Despite the high winds and breaking his bottom batten in the first Men's RS:X race today, Pascual finished the second and third in 10th and 13th. He currently stands in 18th overall.

The remainder of the athletes wearing the Stars and Stripes on their sails this week are eager to get more racing in. The forecast for tomorrow is more promising at 14-16 knots of wind. Racing is scheduled to begin at 12:00 local time.
