Not enough breeze Friday to get on the race course for the penultimate day of the Endeavour Homes 2023 Flying 15 Worlds.
This leaves everything to be decided Saturday 25 March.
Britain’s Graham Vials and Chris Turner with 12 pts have a six point lead over Nick Jerwood and Brad Sheridan of Australia, who have 18 pts.
In third place are Ian Pinnell and Ian Cadwallader (GBR) on 31 pts.

With just one race scheduled to complete the event, defending champions Vials and Turner are in the driving seat.
No one else can catch the two leaders, but apart from the title battle there will be a battle for the third podium place between Britain’s Ian Pinnell and Ian Cadwallader on 31 pts and Australia’s Lachy Gilmour and Ryan Donaldson with 32 pts.
