Laurent Hay of France has taken a six point lead at the 2023 Open and U23 Finn Europeans in Csopak, Hungary.
With just one race possible on the second day on Lake Balaton, Hay took the lead after he finished third behind Czech Republic’s Matous Cervenka and Attila Svastits of Hungary.
Overall Filipe Silva (6) of Portugal moves in to second with 14 points, while overnight leader Hungary’s Domonkos Nemeth (15) drops to third on 17 points.
Britain’s Lawrence Crispin with an 18 place finish drops to fifth, with Alessandro Marega (9) of Italy moving ahead into fourth. Rounding out the top six is Hungary’s Elemér Haidekker (8).
A second race was attempted, but it was now getting quite hot, and the wind started to decrease.
The race was abandoned half way up the first beat and the fleet sent home, with further racing abandoned an hour later as the lake turned to glass.
Racing at Csopak is scheduled to continue Tuesday at 10.00 with more wind and more rain forecast. Seven more races are scheduled.
