On Thursday the F18 sailors had ‘a day off’. After five though races on Wednesday with 18+ knots they had had to deal with 4-6 knots conditions today. The first race was held in a dying breeze going from about 8 knots to 4 by the end. The PRO, Mark Foster, held off on the second race for about an hour and a half until the breeze just nudged over 5 knots. The breeze lighted towards the end of the race and the PRO put in another half hour hold until finally the sea breeze filled in giving the sailors a fun final race. Easton/Burd (USA) maintained their lead, Smith/Heuser (Argentina) hold on to second while Casey/Page (USA) hold a solid third.
Leaders of the pack: Michael Easton & Tripp Burd
