Yachting: NZ sailors lie second

New Zealand sailors Rohan Lord and Miles Addy are sitting second at the Star world championships in San Francisco after strong results in the first two days of competition.

Lord and Addy added a second place in the latest race yesterday to the third they notched in the first race of the regatta on Monday.

The New Zealanders are behind only Flavio Marazzi and Martin Kozaczek on points differential after the Swiss pair won yesterday's second race.

New Zealanders Hamish Pepper and Carl Williams are sixth out of the 66 boats after a race win on the opening day was marred by a 20th yesterday.

Four more races are due to be held, finishing on Friday.
