After nine races Chan Wai Kei is in 9th position on the Women's leaderboard and Chan King Yin is 7th on the Men's. There's been a mixed bag of wind conditions over the last few days, and not always the halfway-to-nothing puffy stuff that was promised for Qingdao. The first race today started in a reported 20 kts of breeze, with the Men's fleet streaking across the start line - and the Ladies following 10 minutes later in a mere 17 knots.
Here are some shots of the Asian windsurfers at work. (Tomorrow's picture story will come from the Star and Tornado fleets).
