Images from Races 9 and 10 of the 2015 Finn Gold Cup sailed at Takapuna today in a 12-18kt NW wind.

Defending World Champion Giles Scott (GBR) turned in another impressive performance with two top three places. Even more impressive was Jonathon Lobert (FRA) who won both races and is now second overall. New Zealand's Andrew Murdoch is third going into tomorrow's Medal races.

Scott is in an unbeatable position for the World Championship ahead of the Medal Race.

The boats who did not finish in the top ten will sail another fleet race on Sunday.
