Second bullet for Percy and Simpson

British duo now lead Scheidt and Prada by 10 points at the Star Worlds

Tuesday May 8th 2012, Author: James Boyd, Location: France

The weather turned clement today at the Star World Championship in Hyeres with a 10 knot southeasterly enabling competitors to start their fourth race at around 12.00.

There were no general recalls, but there were some individuals. Soon after the start there was a collision between Italy's Diego Negri and Spain's Fernando Echavarri. The two boats are quite damaged and both headed back to the harbour.

At the first upwind mark, German Hubert Merkelbach was first followed by Switzerland's Daniel and Beat Stegmeir and Swedes Tom Lofstedt and Haken Lundgren. Merkelbach maintained his lead at the leeward mark, but Flavio Marazzi managed pull into first place at the next mark, followed by Percy/Simpson and Poland's Kusznierewicz/Zycki.

At the finish, Percy and Simpson crossed first with the Poles just behind and Norway's Eivind Melleby and Petter Pedersen third. Having scored two bullets in the last two races, Percy and Simpson now hold a 10 point over Robert Scheidt and Bruno Prada.

Following this punishing one race a day schedule, so tomorrow is a layday.
