Sailors were treated to some decent breeze today and the scoreboard reflects more than decent results for the Canadians. The Canadian Olympic Laser trials have turned up another notch as David Wright (RCYC) and Chris Dold (RCYC) sail their hearts out to earn their spot in London 2012! Their work is definitely paying off as they hold down 2 of 3 podium positions after 3 days of racing. 
Wright moves to the top of the leaderboard today with a 1, 2 despite making a mistake at the first top mark and losing 5 boats, David worked his way back up to the front the fleet by the bottom mark and retained the lead for the win. Wright moved up today in front of GBR's Paul Goodison.
Dold, currently in 3rd place overall, also sailed a great up wind in his first race. In the second race he had a yellow flag off the line, worked the left side of the course and was in 13th at the first mark, moved up to 9th at the reach mark, 7th at the bottom mark, 6th at the second top mark and missed out on 3rd place at the finish line by half a boat length!
