After the completion of six races, Lawrie Smith leads the 2022 International Etchells World Championships at Cowes.
Lawrie Smith GBR 1502, sailing with Richard Parslow, Goncalo Almeida Ribeiro and Ben Saxton has a six point lead going into the final day of racing.
GBR 1490 of Andrew Lawson is in second place with a 13 16 score Friday on 53 points.
In third place is USA 1453 Peter Duncan after an 18 15, and tied on 57 pts with GBR 1495 Grant Gordon who had a 3 and 6 to move up from ninth place.
Just one point back in fifth place is USA 1427 Steve Benjamin on 58 pts after a 38 3 score. Tied on the same points is GBR 1438 Ante Razmilovic posting a 2 and 4.

So it all comes down to the final day – as it should – three more races are possible Saturday and the discard kicks in after Race 7, which all makes for a nerve-racking day ahead . . .
