Nuevo Vallarta - Winds from 8 to 10 knots shifted across Banderas Bay on the first day of the 2007 World’s, resulting in three general recalls at the start of Race One before the Race Committee put up the Black Flag. Race Two had a clean start and the afternoon breeze filled in for some close results.
