Volvo Cars Sailing Update from Paul Goodison at the Laser World champions “It was a real tough day today. It was light with a fickle sea breeze which came in from the SE. It looked the pressure came and then shifted right and then died and shifted left. That’s what it looked like to me. I just sort of got on the wrong side of a couple of... big things on the first race but I came back quite well to finish in the top 10. I was in the 30’s, so I was happy with that.”
