Charlie Cumbley broke the stalmate with Sweden’s Thomas Hansson-Mild on Wednesday to take a three point lead of the OK Dinghy Worlds in Marstrand, Sweden.
Norway’s Lars Johan Brodtkorb holds onto third overall, with Niklas Edler of Sweden moving into fourth and Jens Eckardt of Denmark now fifth.
Two races were completed in a building breeze and clearing skies.
Race 5 saw André Budzien of Germany control the left with a great start and was clear ahead to build a good lead.
Cumbley ate into it on the last upwind to finish second with Eckardt, finishing in third. Hansson-Mild picked up a UFD.
The start was very tricky for race 6 with the current at the pin catching out a few. However, Edler emerged from the commotion to round first and extend away downwind.
He was chased hard by Brodtkorb, Cumbley, Hansson-Mid and Eckardt, finishing in that order. The wind increased for some amazing sailing conditions with some great waves and sunshine and a lot of smiling, happy faces.
The leaading three are covered by just four points with two days racing to go . . . with the possibility of four more races.
