M30 Worlds Breeze, Breaks and Bumps on Day Two


'Optimumm leads M30 Worlds on Day 2' Andrew Palfrey
Last night's rain cleared out and the morning brought sunny skies accompanied by 14-17 knot shifty westerlies to Rhode Island Sound. Vincenzo Onorato's Mascalzone Latino showed their championship winning style taking bullets in two of the day's three races to pull within two points of Guy Stening's Optimum.

With the breeze bows were buried in the waves, several boats suffered breakage and at least one skipper got bumped on the head. The forecast calls for 13-18 knots at start time tomorrow and is anticipated to build over the course of the day.

Top five finishers:

1 08/ AUS 7151 Optimum Guy Stening 17.00

2 05/ ITA 2121 Mascalzone Latino Vincenzo Onorato 19.00

3 11/ USA 65 Barking Mad Jim Richardson 33.00

4 22/ USA 707 Groovederci 706 Deneen Demourkas 37.00

5 23/ CAN 58 Mummy Geoff Brown 38.00
