Australia’s Lachy Gilmour and Ryan Donaldson took Race 3 on day 2 of the 2023 Flying Fifteen World Championship at the Fremantle Sailing Club, Australia.
Overall leaders Graham Vials and Chris Turner of Britain finished third behind Hamish Mackay and Andrew Lawson (GBR) in race 3, but came back with a win in race 4.
In that second race of the day Vials and Turner took their third win, finishing ahead of Ian Pinnell and Ian Cadwallader (GBR) who had an only managed an eighth in the earlier race.
Australia’s Nick Jerwood and Brad Sheridan who had been in second place after the two races on day 1, could only finish 15th in race 3 but recovered with a third in race 4.
Vials and Turner have stretched their lead to 12 points after four races, with Pinnell and Cadwallader now second tied on 18 pts with Mackay and Lawson.
First Aussie team are Nick Jerwood and Brad Sheridan who slip to fourth with 22 pts.
Gilmour and Donaldson’s win and fifth place lifts them into fifth overall with 25 pts, and sixth are Michael Wilson and Peter Greenhalgh (GBR).
It is perhaps too early to talk of a fifth F15 World Championship win for Vials and Turne but it is definitely already looking like it is theirs to loose !
