On the Day 2 of the Hempel Sailing World Championships Aarhus 2018 470 class Men and Women fleets enjoyed south and south-easterlies winds of 8-14 knots. 

In the women's 470, Hannah Mills, the Olympic champion in Rio and new crew Eilidh McIntyre - who know a thing or two about pressure from national team mates - put a difficult Thursday behind them by winning both their races.

The men's 470 ran three races to catch up from Thursday and Swedish 2018 European Champions, Anton Dahlberg and Frederik Bergström were solid but bettered by Japan's Kazuto Doi and Naoya Kimura. The surprise of the day was perhaps the struggle of Australia's Mat Belcher and William Ryan, the silver medallists in Rio and Belcher being the gold medallist in London 2012.
