Ainslie wins race 2

Guess he will be 3rd overall

Ainslie leading race 2

 

 

The Dutch Yngling team have never sailed together before this event - and they are leading race 2 by minutes

Wind is a mess, but it is the same wind for all - so work with it

 

Very impressed with the speed of the spinnaker lifts and drops in the Yngling races

Looks like a replay of the last Olympics; a poor start for Ben but it just fired him up and look what happened

Dutch have opened up a HUGE lead, but can they make it stick?

I thought the two classes were supposed to be on seperate race areas? The fleets just sailed through each other...
