British Rule at Moth Worlds

Hayama, Japan (May 24, 2016) – The YANMAR Moth Worlds got underway today in southerly winds of 5-10 knots. While the first race saw the lighter range,  the second and third races were full foiling.

Robert Greenhalgh (GBR), posting a 1-4-1, is currently leading the competitions. The European Champion arrived in Hayama one week before the World Championships start to have proper training and then returned to UK. He came back to Japan yesterday and joins the races.

“Since I just arrived in Japan yesterday, I am still suffering from jet lag a little,” admitted Greenhalgh. “But I am satisfied with the today’s races and I believe I will have good night sleep. I expect to keep going this for tomorrow races.”

Fellow British sailors Paul Goodison and Chris Rashley follow in second and third. Winds are predicted to get stronger tomorrow with three races scheduled.

Day One Results (Top 10 of 66; 3 races)

Fifteen races are scheduled from May 24 to 29.
