Annapolis' Farrah Hall was back on her sail board on Wednesday
competing in the Women's RS-X at Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour.
The windsurfer who graduated from Broadneck High School and St. Mary's College finished 18th in both Race 3 and Race 4 of the windsurfing competition on Wednesday.
“I had a really disappointing day today,” Hall said when she got back to shore in the U.S. Sailing Team's daily report. “I usually have good starts and today I didn’t. I like racing in these conditions because it’s fun, but I’m better in light air. I can put together a race a little better in light air.”
After 4 races, Hall is now in 18th place overall as she moved up 3 spots in the standings with her efforts on Wednesday.
She was in 21st after the first day of the regatta on Tuesday.
