One more Champagne sailing Day
After three more races being completed on Day 2 at Jervoise Bay, cards have been reshuffled and new names appear at the top of the ranking list.
Sailors have been provided with good racing, although they had to wait under the hot sun before a stablized breeze did permit Race Committe to launch the 75 boats fleet for completing the programme scheduled in the NoR.
New names at the top
By discarding their (relatively) bad result in Race 1, Matt Homan & Kris Bilston (Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron) now score a nice series of 2-1-1-4-2 on their Scorpion, and take the provisional lead with 10 points, closely followed by Australian legends Bundock-Ashby, and previous leaders Burvill Putman.
Nacra Boys Colby-Colman are slightly behind with 23 points, when three teams are staggered from 33 to 38 points.

Systematic measurement controls
It is a clear will from the Class to proceed to systematic measurement controls in order to ensure the reliability of the new system, permitting self-certification by builders.
On Day 2, Technical Committee proceeded to two different controls, one before the races, to check Gennaker halyard height, by designation, the second on a random basis, to check 75% SF/SMG ratio on gennakers, according to finishing positions in Races 4, 5 & 6..
