Day two report

Another succesful day on the water gave us cause for encouragement. As we departed from the paddock area we were leading the event overall but with the top teams still to qualify we await further results with baited breath. Our major limiting factor currently is the boat's propellor, with such a low pitch we are unable to deliver the copious power that our electrical system is able to generate; causing us to lose a couple of seconds in the sprint racing over our rivals. Given the nature of the competition, however, we are confident this will not stop us from maintaining a high ranking. Our lead in the, all be it restricted, standings is in no small part thanks to our placing of 4th in the scoring for the technical reports. It was quite something watching some of the faster boats sprinting and I, for one, would love to have a greater emphasis on speed in the marking to encourage more high speed development. Given more support in the future we will be back with a competitive high speed configuration. Less fortunate were the Mexican team who employed our assistance in retrieving their sinking boat, which had been damaged in transit. We hope they will be able to patch the holes and qualify in time tomorrow. Good luck guys.
