Moth - World Championship 2017 - Malcesine ITA - Day 2, the Laser Olympic Champions Goodison GBR and Slngsby AUS on top after two races

The thundery weather from the opening day inhibiting sailing stayed on, and the expected 'Vento' from the North did not fill in as hoped when the skiffs were on the starting line at 8.30 h CET. Nevertheless, two races were completed by all four Groups in a 10-12 kn breeze on the Northern circle and 12-18 kn on the Southern round, also with higher waves of course. Foiling was difficult as there were many lull patches to avoid. In the afternoon, the 220 participants waited in vain for the 'Ora' breeze in the opposite direction.
The defending Champion Paul Goodison GBR and the 'Oracle' tactician Tom Slingsby AUS, winning both races of their Groups, are on top in the interim's rankings ahead of Robert Greenalgh GBR (ranks 1 and 2) on the 3rd place. Behind Ben Paton GBR is the America's Cup winner Peter Burling NZL on the 5th place. The Laser Radial Olympic Medalist Annalise Murphy IRL is the best woman on rank 46.
