Another two races in the Laser Radial fleet, sees Paige RAILEY consolidate her lead and extend her points margin. An OCS mishap for the overnight second placed Stephanie ROSSE (SUI), drops her down significantly from her opening day form. And up into third for Arantza GUMUCIO (CHI), who had a superb second place, followed by a twelve.

In Busan with the help of the ISAF Athlete Participation Programme are the following sailors in the Laser Radial fleet:

Name	Nation	Age
Alyson MYERS	BAH	15
Tania ZIMMERMAN	PER	16
Beth GERTRUDE	SEY	16
Phillipa BAER	RSA	17

Supported by onsite coach Jim SALTONSTALL (GBR) these sailors will be benefiting significantly from the daily briefings and post-race analysis provided by Jim. Whilst sharing his coaching skills with all the sailors at the Championship, Jim is focusing on the Athlete Participation Programme sailors. Commenting on her experience so far Alyson MYERS (BAH) said, 'After the races and dinner, we had a meeting with Jim SALTONSTALL to discuss today's races. He had filmed us sailing and was giving us helpful advice and tips. Jim is very knowledgeable and has helped us quite a bit. Some of the techniques we were using were outdated and he let us know what else to do. For example, our traveler tension in light air was incorrect. We had been sailing with a loose traveler but what is needed in light air is a tight traveler. Personally, I am learning a lot and meeting many new people. To me, this has been a great start to the regatta.'
