Three crews made a bid today for the lead at the Danish Open, Stage 2 of the 2006-’07 World Match Racing Tour, but the Day 1 leader remained atop the standings despite not having sailed a race today.

Jesper Bank (DEN), United Internet Team Germany, leads the Danish Open with a 4-0 record which he posted yesterday, but Sebastian Col (FRA), Areva Challenge, Björn Hansen (SWE) and Staffan Lindberg (FIN) moved ahead of Bank in terms of wins.

All three are tied at 6-2 hot on the heels of Bank. Hansen and Lindberg won their three matches while Col went 2-1 on the day.

The Danish Open was interrupted today by a lack of wind. A front moved across the Oresund (the body of water between Denmark and Sweden) this morning and robbed the area of wind while depositing large amounts of rain.

The weather cleared early in the afternoon and racing resumed around 2:15 pm, but the schedule was altered because Bank had to travel to Germany for a launching party for his United Internet Team Germany, which saw its new America’s Cup Class sloop, GER 87, make its first sail this week.

The altered schedule meant that crews led by Jes Gram-Hansen, Ian Williams and Bank never sailed today.
