The Hempel Youth Sailing World Championships, hosted in Gdynia, Poland, will reach the midpoint of the competition on Wednesday.

Two days of racing has seen early medal contenders emerge and there have been a few surprises sprung along the way.

Wednesday will be a critical day for the 409 sailors from 66 nations racing across boats supplied by Ovington Boats (Boy's and Girl's 29er), Nautivela (Boy's and Girl's 420), Laser Performance / Maclaren (Boy's and Girl's Laser Radial) and Nacra Sailing (Mixed Nacra 15). The RS:X racers are sailing on their own equipment for 2019.

Those at the front of their respective fleets will be targeting further consistency and those hunting for the podium will be pushing as hard as possible.
