After playing catch-up on day 4 of the Star Bacardi Cup at the Coral Reef Yacht Club on Thursday, Eric Doyle and Payson Infelise of the USA stretch to a nine point lead.
This is not without noting that Poland’s Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Frithjof Kleen of Germany down in 15th place, still carry a UFD of 65 points.
Removing that UFD would give them an 11 point score compared with Doyle and Infelise’s eight, and Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi’s 12 points on a like-for-like basis.
But that is for the future.
In race 3 Xavier Rohart and Pierre Alexis Ponsot of France took the win ahead of Doyle and Infelise, with Marcelo Fuchs and Pedro Trouche of Brazil in third place.
Negri and Lambertenghi kept themselves in the picture with a fourth while Kusznierewicz and Kleen were fifth, and Sweden’s Tom Lofstedt and Anders Ekstrom rounded out the top six.
In race 4, Paul Cayard and Magnus Liljedahl put themselves in a podium position by leading from the first mark all the way to the finish.
They were chased home by Norway’s Eivind Melleby and Joshua Revkin, then Doyle and Infelise, Jørgen Schönherr and Jan Eli Gravad of Denmark in fourth, with Kusznierewicz and Kleen taking another fifth place and in sixth Augie Diaz and Bruno Prada, USA.
