250 boats were rigged in the dinghy park in the blazing Istanbul sun early on the morning of the second day of the Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship, waiting for a sea breeze to form.

Competitors had to wait until 16:30hrs local time for the breeze to fill in and then when the start gun fired, the fleet sailed into the late afternoon sunshine to try and complete at least one race. The breeze was around seven knots on the three courses but it remained puffy and made for a long day on the water for both the race officials trying to set the courses and for the several hundred young sailors.

The RS:X boys and girls and the 29ers did complete two races but the Laser Radials, the SL 16 cats and the 420 boys and girls only managed one race.
