Toby Bush and Kemmel Thorogood had a tough day, but retain their overall lead at the International Cadet 2022 World Championships.
While Bush and Thorogood struggled to get into single figures in the day’s three races, Germany’s Kiran Hirthe and Marc Swientek racked-up a 7 1 1 scoreline that lifted them from tenth to third place . . . just one point behind Australia’s second placed Max and John Sturman.
The third day of racing saw Bush and Thorogood add 19 pts to their score, now on 26pts.
The Sturmans retained second place with a 2, -15 15 on 39pts, and Hirthe and Swientek are tied in third on 40pts with Aussies Luca Groves and Adela Thomas who posted a 4 9 3.
Also moving into the podium picture were Britain’s Will and Annabel Shepherd who won the first race of the day and are now in fifth place with 42pts.
With a lighter breeze and plenty of sunshine for day 3 of Cadet World Championship racing at Royal Yacht Club of Victoria, there field was much more condensed and there was plenty of action around the marks.
Eight races in the bag means a day off for the fleet Saturday, and a chance to enjoy everything that Melbourne has to offer on New Year’s Eve.
Racing resumes on the 1st of Jan for the last two days of Cadet Worlds, with four races scheduled.
