Murdoch now second in Weymouth

9:35 am on 8 August 2011

The New Zealand Laser sailor Andrew Murdoch has relinquished the lead, but is still well placed midway through the Weymouth regatta in Britain, which is doubling as a London Olympic test event.

In blustery conditions Murdoch recorded an 11th and 4th to slip to second, 8 points behind Australian Tom Slingsby.

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have moved up to third in the 49er, while the Star and Finn classes are both 6th.
