The second day of the Hobie 16 Youth and Womens North Americans had some welcomed breeze. After a light wind first day, with only one race completed, the fleets had a building breeze that peaked at close to twenty knots late in the afternoon.

With one day remaining Jason and Charles Hess from Guatemala are dominating the Youth fleet with five bullets in the first five races of the series. These young guys are the top team from a competitive fleet and are likely to be right up there in the Open Championship next week. Last years Youth Champions, Mike Siau and Trey James (NY), are in second place going into the last day.

After a slow start Annie Nelson (CA) and Kathy Kulkoski (NJ) have taken the lead in the Women's fleet. It appears that the increased wind was a bit more to their liking. The pair won race four and five today.Full results, pictures and reports throughout the day
