The second day of the final phase of the 2019 RS Feva World Championships saw Simon Cooke and Oskar Masfen from New Zealand nail the gold fleet lead with a runaway 1, 1, 2 scoreline.
The sea breeze struggled to make an impact, and after a short postponement, the sailors headed out to a patchy race course. The wind gave the race committee a tough job today, with large shifts and inconsistent pressure.
Cooke and Masfen did not let the lighter airs affect them, and they extended their lead to 18 points ahead of second placed Blake Hinsley and Nicholas Drummond, also from New Zealand.
In third place are Raulf Berry and Olly Peters (14,27,6) of Britain with 38 points, and in fourth Quinn Edmonds and Finn Oliver (BFD,18,13) with 58 points.
Rounding out the top 5 are Joey Taylor and Terry Hacker who had a 5 and BFD before winning the final race, they have 64 points.
Leading the Silver fleet are Werpers Kenje and Diego D’apote of Italy.
Leading the Bronze fleet are David Szmaragowski and Sára Svobodová of the Czech Republic.
