- Australia’s Anthony Nossiter led from start to finish only to be black flagged
- Valarian Lebrun of France, maintains his overall lead
- Super Legend Richard Hart of Britain leads the over 80s
Overall after the discard comes into play, Valarian Lebrun, of France, maintains his lead, albeit now down to five points, from Filipe Silva, from Portugal, with David Terol, from Spain, in third, another six points back.
Only one race was scheduled on the third day of the 2021 Finn World Masters on Mar Menor, Murcia, Spain.
Australia’s Anthony Nossiter led from start to finish in the light winds only to find he’d been black flagged for the second race running. He now sits in 39th place.
This gave the race win to Laurent Hay of France, who moves into fourth overall and top Grand Master, with Akos Lukats of Hungary, claiming second and Mats Johnsson of Sweden in third.
Super Legend Richard Hart, from Britain, dropped to 78th, but is still the stand out over 80 year old here.
Likewise, Greg Wilcox, from New Zealand dropped to 11th but still leads the Grand Grand Masters, though double Masters World champion John Greenwood, from britain, has been closing the gap.
Dutchman Henk de Jager’s lead in the Legends has also dropped to just three points so there is sill all to play for in many age groups.
Racing continues Thursday with two more races scheduled. Three more races are needed to complete the series, which concludes Friday.
