Sunday August 14th 2005, Author: Myrrh Walker, Location: United Kingdom
Ben Ainslie still leads the Finn European Championship with one day of racing left.
So far Ainslie has dominated the competition and leads the fleet sitting 25 points ahead of his nearest competitor. With two races scheduled for tomorrow, Ainslie will have to sail on the final day of the competition.
Ainslie's nearest rivals are the New Zealander Dan Slater who has leap frogged into second place today after scoring a first in race seven, and Gasper Vincec from Slovenia.
