Leonardo Stocchero and Gianluca Virgenti lead on Day 2 of 2012 RS Feva World Championship
Second day of the 2012 RS Feva World Championship brought some tremendous sailing conditions on the Hayling Bay waters as the winds were quite supportive for the sailors who participated in the regatta. The breeze was gusting from eight to ten knots over
the racing area which was enough for the fleet to complete the scheduled races and formulate the second day results.
Italian duo comprising of Leonardo Stocchero and Gianluca Virgenti showed some great performance on the first and second day of the 2012 RS Feva World Championship. With superb sailing on Day 2, the Italian pair was able to retain their top position with
seven points.
They participated in six races and claimed three bullets along with two second positions and an eighth finish, which was discarded from the overall scores.
Event campaign of both Stocchero and Virgenti began with two superb finishes on the first day of the regatta. The first two races of the event brought them on top of the fleet standings and they were feeling very confident of keeping the top podium until
the finish of the regatta.
However, two second finishes and another bullet on the second day proceedings were enough for them to stay on top with seven points. Meanwhile, Great Britain’s Chris Allen and Jamie Allen are getting close to their top position and can create problems at
any time.
