Day Five


Friday 28 March

There were similar weather conditions again today for day five of the men and youth contests. The north-easterly direction of breeze has held strong for the week bringing today 15-20knots of wind. With the tide turning around one pm, the second race got underway in a one and a half metre swell.

No change to the top two in the Youth Men’s fleet with Andy Maloney (NZL) holding firm in the top spot on fourteen points and Martin Evans (GBR) still in second on twenty-one points. Tom Burton (AUS) has taken up third today, obviously enjoying the windier conditions, posting a first and third.

The two at the top of the Youth Female fleet have switched places again, Cushla Hume-Merry (NZL) scoring two wins today to overtake Gabrielle King (AUS) who sits in second place. Sarah Gunni (DEN) has held on to third with two seconds, closing the points gap on the leaders as the second discard has been brought in.

With the top two in the Men’s fleet well out in front the race is on for third place, swapping around again today now that the second discard has been brought in. Michael Leigh (CAN) and Brad Funk (USA) both scored well today to sit thirteen points ahead of third place. Simon Morgan (AUS) jumped up into third place sitting on thirty-two points, closely followed by James Sandall (NZL) on thirty-five points and James Burman (AUS) on thirty-eight points.
