Harm Müller-Spreer’s Platoon posted two first places and a fifth to lead the Rolex TP52 World Championship by seven points going into the final day, Thursday.
Azzurra are still very much in contention for the world title but need something to derail Platoon’s train of consistency.
Vladimir Liubomirov’s Bronenosec sailed a 6 and 3 before winning the third race, which moved them to third on the regatta rankings.
Unfortunately Takashi Okura’s Sled did not manage to capitalise from their position at the top of the world championship standings.
Two penalties sent them to fifth overall, now 19 points distant from Azzurra.
