The penultimate day of the Tasar World Championship at the at the Sandringham Yacht Club, Australia, was a wipe-out by strong winds.
Strong current into the Bay from overnight flooding rains, andrain and low visibility with fresh gusty breezes from the SW, all creating dangerous sea state sailing conditions.
The final day will possibly feature three races to complete the championship.
Jonathan Mckee and Libby Johnson Mckee of the USA are in the driving seat with a nine point lead, from Australia’s Chris Dance and Peter Hackett, with Harrison Sly and Zara Challis five points further back.
