Those on top are, John Smale and a fast finishing Jason Magee both on 25 points.
Then comes Tim Vandervoort and Michael Brindley both on 23 points. With Michael as OOD boat duty in the last round a certain 2 points are his which would put him on 25 points.
If the day is fogged out that would not enable any of the contenders to race which would see Michael an equal pointers winner.
There is a hoping for good weather so the other contenders are able to fight to the end.
The other contenders are:
- Chris Guy, Phil Wales and Peter Field all equal on 22.5 points.
- Peter Field is unable to compete so he finishes on 22.5 points with an outside chance of a high placing should the others not complete the races.
- Bill Quinn is next on 22 points and Dave Morrow on 18.5 points.
There are a maximum of 6 points on offer for the contenders and all who race.
Let's hope the contenders for the title are able to sail a fair race without interference from those who are well out of the running, but all's fair in love and war.
