Mischa Heemskerk added three race wins to take a 24 point lead at the A-Class World Championship.
Spain’s Manuel Calavia (2,4,6) moves into second, and up into third place comes New Zealander Dave Shaw with a 5, 2, 2, scoreline.
Another Kiwi making places was Phil Robertson with a 4, 3, 4, putting him inside the top 20 in 12th place overall.
Aussie Steve Brewin went the other way . . . after a third place finish in the first race of the day, problems in the second and DNC in the final race dumped him down in 15th overall.
Also suffering was Bruce Mahoney of the USA. Second overnight, he carded a respectable 10 and 9, before a UFD penalty dropped him to 8th place overall at the end of the day.
Two races for the Classic fleet, where Andy Landenberger had done just enough to keep his overall lead . . . by one point.
He leads from Scott Anderson of Australia who moves up from 5th place, with Sweden’s Alberto Farnesi holding on to third place overall.
Andrew Landenberger is now in fourth place, despite winning the first two races as he was DNC for the third race – as were the rest of the classic fleet – which went to Mariano Martinez of Spain who recorded a lone victory.
