Finn Europeans Day 4 – Nemeth closes on first Finn European title

Domonkos Nemeth of Hungary took three more race wins on day 4 of the Finn Europeans in Csopak, Hungary.

Nemeth with 7 pts now has a commanding lead with just one more day to sail.

Laurent Hay, of France, had the next best day to consolidate his second place with 18 pts, while Filipe Silva, of Portugal, remains in third, with 29 pts.

 
Alessandro Marega of Italy is fourth with 30 pts and Hungary’s Elemér Haidekker fifth on 44 pts. Poland’s Bartosz Szydlowsk is sixth with 47 pts.

Britain’s Lawrence Crispin (10, 8, 8) (top image) gains a place to seventh overall with 52 pts.

Two races are scheduled for the final day of racing on Thursday and while Nemeth only needs one good race to secure both the senior and U23 European titles, the other podium places are still up for grabs.

Hay has the advantage, but it’s all on for the final day.
