Last
chance for bragging rights...
A
full round of windward /leeward races are planned but the weather will
determine if they are completed. Sarab
Singh's Sydney 40MOD WINDSIKHER holds a commanding lead in the
IRC A class and David Ross' Kerr 32 KUKUKERCHU
will have to win all the races to displace them from taking the
title.
In the PY Class, Adriaan Smit's X99 POWER PARTNERS completely
outclassed the opposition in the earlier races but the handicap adjustments
have allowed Dieter Trau's Jeanneau Sun Fizz WATERMELON to close
within one point of the leaders. Leslie Fung's Hanse 315 TODAK 2
is also within striking distance.
The
exciting and highly entertaining Moth Class, has James Cole's Bladerider
BLITZ KRIEG BOP on top of the podium but Mark Robinson's Mach
2 VIVA LA VIDA has closed back in on the overall lead after missing
a day of racing. Nicholas Leo Francis ASSASIN is in third place
but will have put in a strong performance to hold of the chasing pack
that are rapidly closing in.
In
the Laser SB3 class Fabrice Piard's ALIDADE has a four point
lead over Bob Comstock's COMPASS RISING and Wallace Cuthbertson's
GLASGOW KISS that are tied on points for the second and third
places on the podium.
