49er World Championships 2010 Day 1 

 Today was the first day of competitive racing in the beautiful setting of Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach, Grand Bahama Island, sailing conditions were perfect in 15-18 knots of breeze.

Ryan & Matt had their first race at 11:00 AM Local time, followed by a further two back to back races. The boys had a great start finishing 4th in their first race, a small mistake in race two saw the boys cross the line in 20th place which was a harsh reminder of just how tough these world class events can be.

Ryan & Matt were back on form for race three to gain a respectable 8th place, this puts the boys in 19th place overall and with three races scheduled for tomorrow the pressure will be on. Good luck for tomorrow guys!
