Dublin sailors Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove couldn’t quite match their opening heroics on day two of the 49er class races in Tokyo today as they contested the second, third and fourth races in the 12-race series.

The pair made their Olympic debut on the water a memorable one yesterday with victory in race one and with the remaining races of the day postponed due to the weather, they faced into a busy schedule today.
