Takapuna turned it on for Day 4 of the 2015 Finn Gold Cup today.

Three races were sailed in a freshening sea breeze.

The 76 boat fleet sailed races in brilliant conditions which NZL Sailing Team’s Andrew Murdoch and Josh Junior relished.

Seeking redemption after poor results in tricky conditions on day three, both Murdoch and Junior had solid results on the water today and are back in the hunt as the regatta moves into the penultimate day.

Murdoch placed ninth in race six, sixth in race seven and then another ninth to climb back into fifth overall, three points behind Jonathan Lobert of France.

Junior opened the day with a second place, followed that with a 12th and was fourth in race eight to lift his overall position from 28th place up to 14th with a day to try and earn a place in the top ten and a start in Sunday’s medal race.
