The fightbacks begin in the Star Worlds

Day 2 of the Star Worlds offered typical conditions of Biscayne Bay with the wind at 15- 18 knots and two foot waves.

Torben Schmidt Grael and Guilherme de Almeida enjoyed a perfect beginning with pretty good speed to reach the pin in first. Although the start was a key factor, the upwind leg was very long and Robert Stanjek and Frithjof Kleen took a big advantage before the first mark, and kept it until the end. They executed a perfect race, reading the shifts better than anyone else, and were able to secure the first place crossing the line at least 10 boat lengths ahead of second.
    
Torben Grael worked hard during the whole race to finally clench the second place finish ahead of Diego Negri, with a tight finish making a boat-to-boat combat right before the finish line.
 
Although Team Germany, Stanjek and Kleen and the Team Brasil, Grael and de Almeida, had a good race, they were disqualified yesterday so there is still big battle ahead for them.
 
The most consistently sailor was Augie Diaz who is leading the Overall Results after obtaining a 3th and 4th position through the two first races. He said that he was fortunate to get fourth and that the crew is very important.
