Grae Quote last night...
After taking quite a bit of time out since winning a silver medal last July at the Olympic Regatta 21-year-old Australian Grae Morris is happy to be back on the iQFOiL board again. "It's what I've done pretty much all my life, so it's my happy place," he said. Today in the strong breeze was certainly Morris's happy place as he surged to scores of 1,1,11,3 to take a 34-point lead over Italy's Nicola Renna in second place. Just a point behind Renna in third is Johan S?e from Norway.Morris is enjoying getting back into the white heat of international competition. "It's been a while since the Games, so great to be back in Palma and discover the big fleet again. I've been up and down the bibs this week, started with yellow, then in the red, and back in yellow again after today. I've been feeling a bit rusty but been doing this my whole life so it's starting to come back to me again."After racing the last cycle with a 9.0 square metre sail, the men are this time using 8.0 square metres, the same as the women were using for Paris 2024. "We've been buying some secondhand rigs off the girls now that they're on the new 7.3 square metre, but I'm not thinking too much about the change. I'm pretty much using the kit the same way as before."

Nice one Grae!

Brett, how has the smaller sail affected the competitors? Have they dropped bodyweight or just pump the smaller sails harder?
