Jo Aleh and Olivia Powire became the first New Zealanders to
pick up a win in the second wave of the World Sailing
Championships in Perth when they competed in the 470 class
last night.
The pair are sixth overall after their win in the final race
of the day, which was a frustrating one for sailors due to
light and shifting conditions.
Peter Burling and Blair Tuke raced only two of their three
scheduled events in the 49er class due to the conditions,
finishing third and 12th, to lie sixth overall.
On the men's Laser course Andrew Murdoch finished second and
10th in his two races. He has finished in the top 10 in all
his individual races and sits 10th overall.
The Men's RS:X fleet completed only one race, with JP Tobin
the top New Zealander in sixth and Tom Ashley 12th.
