In the Radial Great Grand Master Fleet Tom Speed sailed well in his usual manner in both races and finished 7th & 4th. Tony Park surprised himself and got a 5th & 9th after a swim in the 2nd race. Sandy Grigg to relief of everybody after injuring his leg sailed well with 15th & 10th. Jim Quinn was a little disappointed badly banging his head first race but still getting 14th and in the 2nd race picked some plastic and finished 21st. Mike Shields sailed well in the windy conditions with a 20th and a 8th in the second race. Mark Miller had a consistent day with two 17th and Stephen (Snifter) Phillips is enjoying himself with two DNF.
In the Standard Grand Master fleet Jack Hanson who has suddenly got 3 years younger to sail in this division did well against sailors up to 13 year younger than him with a 22nd and 16th. Bob Blakey also sailed well with a 21st and a 23rd and out of a fleet of 77 Jack and Bob ended up duelling on the last leg of each race. Both were not that far from the front.
Overall the Kiwis are reasonably well placed after the first day with Mark Page looking most likely to win a world title for the Team.
