Finn Class leader Zach Railey widened the gap a little more in Saturday's racing off of Newport Beach.

Railey sailed a 1, 2 to Geoffrey Ewenson's 4, 1. Railey, Ewenson and Darrell Peck are in first, second and third place with 26, 39 and 45 points, respectively. The fourth place boat is a distant 30 points back in this 42-boat fleet.
