Paul Cayard and Frithjof Kleen won their third race out of four sailed and are the provisional leaders.
Paul Cayard and Frithjof Kleen won race 4, finishing ahead of Ben Mitchell and Rob Scrivenor with Leandro and Lucas Altolaguirre taking third.
Cayard and Kleen have a 15 that they can drop after race 5 if they keep up their low scoring run.
The top teams thought pin end was favored for the start of race 4, but we are all becoming accustomed to the shifty race course off Silver Strand in South San Diego.
It was another day of guessing and keeping your head out of the boat for the best shift, another snake and ladders day out on the water at the end of which some are really happy and others, very disappointed.
Local hero George Szabo with Guy Avellon did not have the best first beat but were able to make up for it and went from twenty+ to finish 11th holding on to fourth in the provisional overall ranking.
