The second day of racing at the 2.4mR World Championship delivered even lighter Ora winds than on the opening day, setting the stage for another technically demanding afternoon on Lake Garda.
Despite the delicate conditions, the Race Committee successfully completed three races, putting sailors' tactical and trimming skills to the test.
Commenting on the day, Italian sailor Davide Di Maria highlighted the high level of competition: "The level of the sailors is very high, and in these tricky light conditions, you can really see who's good and who the true champions are."
After the first day of racing, Jeffrey Linton (USA 160) leads the overall standings, followed by Megan Pascoe (GBR 173) in second place and Frank Huth (NOR 149) in third.
Once again, the event welcomed ULSS9 SCALIGERA aboard Siora Veronica, together with another enthusiastic group of guests. The collaboration underscores the Championship's commitment to inclusivity and community engagement, values that are deeply embedded in the event's spirit.
A special acknowledgment goes to MAN TRUCK & BUS for supporting the organization with a dedicated van — affectionately known as "the MAN, not the VAN" — which plays a key role in ensuring smooth logistics throughout the Championship
This evening, sailors and teams will gather at Speck Stube in Malcesine to celebrate the Worlds with local specialties, great company, and fresh beer — a perfect opportunity to relax after another exciting day on the water.
Tomorrow's program foresees the first start at 1:00 p.m.
