by Christopher Howell 19 Sep 2016 16:49 BST 19-23 September 2016

It was the calm before the storm on day one of the J/24 World Championship in Wakayama Japan. With a tropical storm heading toward the area, 41 teams representing Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Korea, Peru, Singapore and the USA kicked off the Championship in winds of 4-6 knots over two races.

Daniel Frost's JJOne of Germany mastered the conditions with a 1,2 to grab the early advantage in the five-day event.

Demichi Kousuke's Ichimokusan of Japan holds a slim lead on second place, just one ahead of Peru's Javier Arribas on Hawky. The day's race winners were Frost in race one and Naoto Kitazume's Maril in race two.

Racing continues through Friday. Complete event information is available at www.j24.gr.jp/2016_worlds
