Racing for the 94th Bacardi Cup continued with two back to back races on a double triangle course and the race discard coming into play after race 4.
Defending Bacardi Cup champions Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Bruno Prada (POL) racked up two more race wins to make it four in a row.
Their unrelenting performance could prove invincible, but nobody triumphs at the Bacardi Cup win without a battle to the end.
Eric Doyle and Payson Infelise (USA) scored a 2, 5 to sit three points off the leaders, with John MacCausland and Phil Trinter finishing 4, 2 and, now able to discard their DNC from race 1, they advance nine places to third overall.
In fourth place (top image) are Augie Diaz and Marcus Koy (USA) with a 3, 3 tied on ten points with MacCausland and Trinter.
