A disappointing day for Petra, who going into today’s racing had held the top spot.
A further two races yesterday saw some position changes elsewhere in the women’s fleet, with Sophie DE TURCKHEIM (FRA) moving into third position and Sarah BLANCK (AUS) jumping into the top 10.
Discard number two will come into play after today’s race 9, which could see some shifting in positions, but there is still open.
