No let up in the tension on day 4 with Paul Cayard and Frithjof Kleen finally giving up a race win to Robert Scheidt and Austin Sperry (BRA).
A second place was enough for Cayard and Kleen to keep a six point overall lead with two races to go, and a handy discard if necessary.
Things are firming-up in Cayard and Kleen’s favour and apart from a complete disaster Friday’s penultimate race can wrap it up for them.
Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Bruno Prada (POL) maintain third after a fourth place finish, and Diego Negri and Sergio Lambertenghi (ITA) move into fourth with Eric Doyle and Payson Infelise (USA) now fifth.
