It was a demanding second day for Baltimore Sailing Club's Cliodhna Connolly and the rest of the 47 Melges 24 World Championship fleet in Middelfart, Denmark on Wednesday.
1720 sailor, Connolly, who is sailing on Italian entry Altea with Andrea Racchelli, is expected to be the top performer but after three races are lying 11th overall.
The wind was reluctant to put in a proper appearance making conditions throughout the three races generally light but consistent at between 6 and 9 knots.
After three races, reigning Melges 24 World Champion Peter Duncan and his Raza Mixta (USA) crew of Morgan Trubovich, Erik Shampain, Patrick Wilson, Victor Diaz De Leon has a four-point lead over Drew Freides’ Pacific Yankee (USA), with Chris Rast steering Michael Goldfarb's War Canoe (USA) third and Ante Botica and his crew of Mataran 24 (CRO) fourth, being the best Corinthian team in the fleet by now.
