New Zealand sailors are continuing to perform well at the ISAF World Cup Regatta being sailed this week at Palma de Mallorca, Spain, in conditions that went from a near gale on day one to a light breeze on day two.

The first day was a test with 25-35 knots blowing from the north.

New Zealand men's 470 pair, Paul Snow-Hansen and Tauranga's Jason Saunders, came through the extreme conditions to start the five day regatta with two wins to lead the 74-strong class.
The wind on the second day died back to a light and shifty 10-15 knot breeze, and the 470 team dropped to fourth overall after finishing 13^th and fourth.

The change in conditions benefitted women's 470 sailors Jo Aleh and Bianca Barbarich-Bacher, who mastered the light and came away with two wins on day two, taking them to second place overall lying two points behind the Japanese pair in the lead.
In the Finn class, New Zealander Dan Slater is fifth overall after starting the day in 12th.

On 20 points, he's just behind the two sailors lying third and fourth both sharing 19 points.
Mount Maunganui windsurfer Tom Ashley didn't do well in the conditions on day one finishing 34^th and 12^th, but on day two he finished sixth and won the second of the two races completed. He's 22^nd overall.

The five New Zealand sailors in the 121-strong laser fleet are all in the top 24.

Andy Maloney is the best placed in fourth overall. In racing on Tuesday he was fourth and then second.
