Race Three of the 2024 Star World Championship was a win for Paul Cayard and Frithjof Kleen.
This was a second win for Cayard and Kleen (1, 15, 1) and they are now third overall with three points behind the overall leaders Will Stout and Daniel Cayard (7, 1, 6).
Splitting the race winning Cayard family boats are George Szabo and Guy Avellon (5, 6, 5) in second, two points off the leaders.
The Cayard family is proving to be in great form, again – Paul and Danny won the North American Championship in Newport Beach, LA, together just over a month ago.
Wednesday’s race four has a forecast for lighter breeze and cooler temperatures. After that race the discard will be applied and the tight ranking might be shaken up.
