Whitaker and Elmes Make Best of Shifty Winds at Optimist Worlds

#optimist – News continues to be slow from the Dominican Republic, with the rest day, Monday 23rd July, being changed to a racing day. Despite this, only one race was completed bringing the total number of races to 5, with only two days left until the end of the event. Harry Whitaker and Douglas Elmes had a good day in shifty conditions, with Harry getting another 4th place and Doug a 10th. Tuesday's racing will see a discard kick in.
