Domonkos Nemeth from Hungary, takes back the lead of the Open and U23 Finn Europeans at the halfway stage.
Nemeth laid down a marker on day 3 with two emphatic wins that put him 6 pts clear of Laurent Hay of France, with Filipe Silva of Portugal 11 pts off the leader in third.
Nemeth, the U23 Finn World Champion, was able to discard a 15 place from day 2 and now counts four race wins in his scoreline.
There are two days and potentially five races left in this championship. Racing at Csopak is scheduled to continue Wednesday with possibly three races if conditions allow, though very strong winds are forecast.
Britain’s Lawrence Crispin (10, 7) dropped to eighth place.
While Hungary’s Elemér Haidekker (5, 2) moves into fourth, Alessandro Marega (6, 5) of Italy is now fifth, and Poland’s Bartosz Szydlowsk is sixth.
