With three more races on the leaderboard, Roger Gilbert and Ben McGrane take a 7 point lead at the 505 Class Euro Cup at Hayling Island SC.
Steady scoring – 5, 2, 1 – and the first discard gave Gilbert and McGrane 7 points, while early leaders Mike Holt and Carl Smit of the USA could not repeat their day 1 performance, and slip to second place with 14 points.
Out performing them all were Paul Brotherton and Alain Sign who won the first two races of the day, and wrapped it up with a second place final to jump from 17th to third overall with 15 points.
Penny and Russ Clark remain in fourth, just one point back, tied on 16 points with Julian Slueckl and Johannes Tellen of Germany.
