The men's 49er pairing of Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have had a good day on the water amongst some less-inspiring results from the New Zealand sailing team.
A race win and a seventh placing has seen the pair move to second place in the event's overall standings.
The men's Star pair of Hamish Pepper and Jim Turner had a solid, but unspectacular day in finishing sixth then fifth in their two races - they now lie eighth overall in their standings after six races.
After a strong day on the water Monday, Dan Slater struggled in today's action in posting 17th and 11th placings - his win yesterday proving to be a major reason why he's still within the top 10 of the event with four races to go before a possible medal round.
JP Tobin's Olympic campaign got off to a rough start with a 15th placing in his opening race in the RS-X catagory. However, the man who was chosen to represent New Zealand ahead of Beijing gold medalist Tom Ashley bounced back in his second race of the day with a fourth placing.
