Rocco Wright of Howth’s impressive scoreline in the qualifying stages of the 58-nation Optimist Worlds on Lake Garda was dented yesterday when he logged a 19th in Race 3.
This was - when set against his recent performance standards - a significant glitch to put him back at 11th overall after four races on an otherwise strong performance of 1st in Race 1Q, 5th in Race 2Q, and 2nd in Race 4Q.
Current overall leader is Weka Bhanubanh of Thailand with Alex di Francesco Kuhl of Brazil second, Erik Scheidt of Lithuania third, and Gi Hackel of USA fourth.
