At the close of day two of the 2016 Sailing World Cup in Hyeres the NZL Sailing Team are in the top two in three events, with a total of nine Kiwi crews placed within the top 10.
While day one produced top-end conditions, with capsizes, rig and boat damage across the fleets, things turned around and the sailors faced the challenge of a no-wind delay, followed by a shifty, building breeze.
Peter Burling (Tauranga) and Blair Tuke retain their lead in the men's skiff.
A win, a sixth and a third in yesterday's three races has them out in front by three points with young Aussies the Phillips brothers still the closest of the chasing pack in second.
In the Laser class, like the Finn, it's yet to be decided who will represent New Zealand at Rio 2016 with very little to split top contenders Tauranga's Sam Meech and Andy Maloney.
