Day Four Highlights


Description

 

Sandringham, Melbourne, Australia --- Crews were greeted by steady winds and choppy seas finally allowing for a full schedule of racing on Port Phillip Bay. Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen went into the day second overall, behind New Zealand’s Peter Burling and Blair Tuke, with the 49er fleet able to complete four races. Outteridge and Jensen slipped behind with a fourth in race one before bouncing back well to finish the day with two firsts and a second to take the lead and open up a two point lead over the Kiwis, with local sailors Will and Sam Phillips a point further back in third.
