Xu disqualified in 2nd race, loses lead
Print Edition
DEFENDING Olympic champion Xu Lijia of China lost top spot in the Laser Radial class standings on Monday after she was disqualified from the second of two races following a right-of-way protest by American sailor Paige Railey.
Boats on “starboard tack”, those with the wind coming over the right side when facing forward toward the bow, have right-of-way over boats on port tack, or those with wind coming over the left side.
“I got into a problem on the last upwind leg and didn’t cross properly, I thought I could make it but didn’t,” Xu said after the race.
She said she took her penalty turns for interfering with the rival’s right of way, but still lost the protest.
As a result of Xu’s disqualification from the second race, Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands moved into first place with 10 points after two of 10 fleet races.
Sailors receive the same number of points as their finish position except in the medal race, where finish positions are doubled. The sailor or boat with the lowest points total wins the regatta.
Railey moved to sixth from seventh while Xu dropped from first to 23. The top 10 finishers in fleet racing move on to the medal race.
