Tauranga sailors continue to set the pace for the Kiwis at the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships in Santander on the northern coast of Spain.
On day two, the laser, radial and men's and women's windsurfers were doing battle in the qualifying rounds for their respective world titles.
With no wind once again in the morning, sailors had to wait ashore before a light breeze arrived. As the day progressed there was rain showers and shifty breezes, yet despite this the NZL Sailing team sailors came away with some good results.
Thomas Saunders and Sam Meech, from the Tauranga Yacht and Powerboat Club, are in contention. In the laser, Meech started the day with a 2nd placing and now lies 14th overall. His second race of the day was a 43rd, which he can discard from his point score, but Meech now needs to remain consistent to keep up with the frontrunners.
Saunders, aged 22 and New Zealand's youngest laser competitor, remains well placed in 15th, just one point adrift of Meech. Saunders recorded a 22nd and a 5th in racing on day two.
