Coming into Round 2 of the iShares Cup, one could be forgiven for expecting the French teams to excel on their 'home' waters but the pre-event form hasn't gone quite as planned.

Today it was Oman Sail's Masirah that stole the thunder on the open waters of Hyères, posting four bullets out of six races leaving them at the top of the Day 1 leaderboard with 55 points.
