Back on schedule in Perth at the International Moth Worlds with three races for the Foiler Fleet and two for the Low Riders
Enzo Balanger FRA held onto his lead in the Foilers with a 13, 1, 4, score, and after discarding the 13 he has a 16 point lead over Ryan Littlechild AUS who posted a 4, 6, 1.
Littlechild is the only competitor likely to challenge Balanger for the title on Thursday, but it would require Balanger to suffer a major upset to fail to defend his title now.
In third is Jack Bennett NZL posting a 5, 12, 13, with 41 pts and in a four-way battle for the third podium place, with Richard Didham USA on 43 pts, Jack Ferguson AUS on 44 pts and Tim Hawse NZL with 47 pts.
The third race winner of the day was Bradley Funk USA, who with an 8 and 9 came back into the top ten.
Britain’s Henry Wetherell is 12th after a 6, 17, 9 score, and Hattie Rogers 21st after a 22, 21, 24.
In the Low Rider Global Championship, Paul Hignett of Britain added two more wins to take a 26 point lead after nine races. Second is Australia’s Brian Walker with 32 pts and third Ben Lawrie with 32.8 pts.
Hignett also leads the Handicap scoring by one point from Aussie John Hilton.
Final day of racing is Thursday 12 November with four races possible and the Fremantle Doctor expected.
