Day 2 was a waiting game where rain and clouds looked like they were going to stop any chance of racing. But good things come to those who wait and at 3:30pm the sun finally broke through, the wind picked up and we managed to get 3 eliminations completed before the clouds came back and killed the wind again.

There are three standout riders this event - one in each fleet and all three took perfect scores on day 2 - Bobbi-Lynn De Jong , Arxon Gomperts and Brendan Lorho.

Behind the leaders things are getting very tight. In the U21/U17 Boys Fleet, only 5 points separate Bimbi Clappers in second from Storm Nicolai in 4th with Tycho Smits sandwiched in the middle. 1.3 points separates the top two U17 Boys - repeating the battle from Aruba but at this stage its Tycho leading over Storm.

In the battle of the De Jong twins, its Kit De Jong with a commanding lead at this stage over Lone. The 12 year olds are separated by Louise van den Meulen from Aruba who has found her form here in Bonaire and currently sits in 3rd place.

The fight for 2nd place in the U15 Boys couldnt be closer with only 0.7 separating Jaevian IJtsma from Barrie Sassen. Barrie had a good second day, scoring a string of 2nd place finishes to jump up the ranking and apply pressure on Jaevian.

Joey Ross continues to lead the U13 Boys and had extended the gap to 12 points over Julien Blom. The conditions were the most challenging yesterday for the smallest riders as their extremely light weight means pumping the sail is very difficult and so getting going and planing through the gusts can be challenging. Joey continued on his 4.5m - his favourite no matter the conditions and with perfect starts and good jibes, he maintained a steady pace throughout the course, where others were more sporadic in their performance.

With 10 eliminations now complete and two days to go, its all still incredibly tight as the young guns battle it out on the beautiful Bonairian waters.
