The Musto Skiff Worlds fleet resumed racing Thursday at Weymouth.
Sam Pascoe now has a 20 pt lead after nine races, with Robert Richardson taking second and Danny Boatman third.
When his 15th place discard is considered, Pascoe has a total of just 15 pts and counts four race wins in his scoreline.
Bill Maughan, who had challenged Pascoe over the first two days of racing with three race wins, has dropped back to 8th after a tough Thursday, posting a 20, 35, 13.
The day’s best performance came from Ben Clegg with a two race wins and an eighth to move up to tenth, but his earlier scores restrict further improvement.
In fourth is Andy Tarboton of South Africa, fifth Dan Henderson and sixth Sam Barker.
