Hobie 16 Worlds

After day 1 of the finals Axel Silvy and Pauline Jupin have taken the lead with four incredible races. The french duo scored a 1,8,1,2 in the four races sailed on Thursday and have a solid lead going into the final day of the championship. Defending Champions from Australia, Gavin Colby and Simone Mattfield, have slipped to third.

Six American teams made it into the finals. William Jeffers and Karen Grisko, from New York, are the top of the American goup in 24th. In other news a group of Americans who did not make the final round had a great day fishing and so the US team will be feasting on mahi mahi tonight.
