The wave specialists were in their element on Day 2 of the Laser Radial Youthw World Championships, as 15 to 20 knot winds kicked up steep waves on Lake Erie.
A number of the previous day's leaders suffered, including overnight leader Jeffery Cruise, wo could only manage a 28th and a 37th place in the stronger winds. British sailor Giles Scott had the best day, posting 2 firsts to move into second overall behind Kuzmanic of Croatia. Scott's performance was impressive considering he has only just turned 15. In fact his only concern was what to tell his mum when he phoned home with the good news.
