| Team GBR await the qualifying race start. Charlotte is GBR 22. |
Racing is now well underway at the ISAF Sailing Worlds in Perth, Australia which is almost certainly the final selection event for the Radial berth for team GBR at the London Olympics 2012.
After a difficult start on Monday Charlotte Dobson picked up her first race win this morning followed by a healthy 8th to move her up to the top of the team GBR standings. Ireland's Analise Murphy had a similarly challenging first race but is now clearly enjoying the conditions and with the first discard in play has moved to the top of the overall leader board.
In the mens 470 class Luke and Stuart have engaged first gear and followed their 5, 1 scores from Monday with three more bullets today. With the 470's in the unusual position of using flights, Luke and Stuart are just ahead of the Australians who also dominated their flight today to give a scoreline of 9,1,1,1,1.
More Scottish interest in the Finn class as our adopted sailor Giles Scott picked up two firsts today with Ben Ainslie scoring two 3rds.

| Alison Young takes no prisoners on the start line today. |
In the women's windsurfer Bryony Shaw is also looking very strong at this early stage.
Shark watch has been increased following some confirmed suspicious sightings....

Go team GBR.
