WBC's Gordon Sims rockets up the leaderboard into 2nd overall on Day 1 of the OK Worlds in Denmark. Two tricky races, a shifty breeze, plenty of current - classic Auckland sailing.

Gordon rounded the top mark in 2nd in blue fleet and overtook for the win, also earning the Day 1 TIKI bragging rights. Enjoy the moment!
