NZL Sailing Team at ISAF Worlds: Continuing
light winds mean next to no racing
On a day where 35 races were to be sailed at the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander, Spain, just two were possible due to the continuing light wind weather pattern.

Only the 49er yellow fleet raced, featuring NZL Sailing Team’s Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski. For the remaining 49ers, and the 49erFX, Finn, Nacra, 470 and RS:X fleets there was a long wait for wind which never came.
Forecasters and organisers are predicting a change in the wind direction for tomorrow and promising better conditions for racing. Santander’s typical north easterly sea breeze is anticipated to give way to an onshore southerly, which could prove tricky.
49er
Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski were silver medallists at the 2013 49er World Championships and they opened the 2014 regatta in fine style today with a yellow fleet race win.
The pair, who are training partners to Burling and Tuke, went on to place 23rd in the subsequent race and find themselves in 8th on the 49er leader board. With no racing possible for the second 49er fleet, in which the other kiwi entrants were scheduled to race, the overall standings only include half of the field.
Laser & Laser Radial
The Laser
and Laser Radial fleets had a reserve day in the schedule
today providing them with an opportunity to rest. For both
the men’s and women’s single-handed dinghy classes two
days of finals racing remains during which sailors will be
vying for a top ten position and a start in the medal races
scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Spain.
National qualification for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games is also on offer at the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships – read ISAF’s Qualification System for Rio 2016 for the details.
