DAY four of the Laser Radial Youth World Championships was the best and worst of days for Sophie Platts.
With the breeze more to her liking – race one was in a strong NE breeze of 18 knots – and after a mile-long beat, she rounded the first mark in the top 10.
Still struggling to match the leaders downwind, she slipped places, but managed her best result to date to finish 16th.
