The fourth day of the 2024 Finn Open Europeans was filled with drama and uncertainty after a day of waiting for wind, then multiple restarts and finally multiple hearings in the jury room.
After six races completed and much time in the Jury room, Laurent Hay of France has a one point lead from Alessandro Marego of Italy with Valérian Lebrun (top image) of France in third place.
In the final race of the day three of the top four were black flagged, including Nick Craig of Britain who retains his fourth place overall.
There is one day left in the championship and two races are scheduled on Friday.
