Robin Follin of France remains in the lead of the SB20 World Championship at Hyeres, with only two races compleeted so far.
In second place is Aleksei Lesnikov of Russia and in third place Britain’s Charles Whelen.
Follin was the winner of the first race on Monday and Whelen winner of the second on Tuesday.
The second downwind also caused some damage resulting in a dismasted boat from Portugal. Ian Ainslie was around the 10-12th position, when Gabriel Skoczek (SB20 World Champion 2018) tacked onto starboard on the lay line. Ainslie tried to duck behind them, but couldn’t. He immediately retired.
The jury has awarded a redress to Gabriel and placed them in 10th, where they were before the collision.
Just the one race was completed before the storm crushed on Hyères, wiping out racing for the day.
