A shifty, difficult first race for both fleets

The breeze has gone round from the morning's NW'ly right round to the E and so the courses have been reset. Both fleets have had one race.

At 1500hrs the Men's first race has been completed for both flights as has the first race for the women. The wind shifted through about 100 degrees on the final leg of the women's gold fleet race. China's Dongshuang Zhang won by about 200 metres with Anna Tunnicliffe in second and Paige Railey third. This morning's overall leader Sari Multala finished in fifth.
In the Men's race Alec Anderson (IVB) won the yellow fleet race and America's Chase Shaw won the blue fleet.
