Raines Koby and Stephanie Mah of Canada keep their lead at the Albacore Internationals at Shelburne Harbour YC, Nova Scotia.
They won the first race ahead of Britain’s Neville Herbert and Mark Fowler, with Tom and Ross Lonsdale GBR in third place.
Tom and Ross Lonsdale went on to win the second race, again with Herbert and Fowler taking second place, in third were Darren Monster and Andrew Rydholm of Canada.
The points difference is now down to two points between Koby and Mah, and Herbert and Fowler, with Barney Harris and Ernest Ayukawa of the USA in third place overall and seven points off the leaders.
Long courses of 3 triangles were set, really testing the stamina of the crews on what had been scheduled as the lay day.
Action will be suspended Thursday to let a tropical storm pass by.
