Narrow lead for Titia
Sunday June 22nd 2008, Author: Denis van den Brink, Location: United Kingdom
Day three in this European 6 m Class Championships and the bay of Morbihan still showing off the best weather conditions, light southerly winds and plenty of sunshine on Sunday. Three races duely sailed and leaders in both Classics and Modern Class under increasing pressure.
Britain Andy Postle still a leader in the Classics with a strong performance today on board Titia, but the Danish title holder Hans One and his Sunray are closing in thanks to a remakable day.
Very much the same scenario among the Modern fleet ; Germany's Courage IX (Alba Batzill) now has to cope with France's Yann Marilley now a strong second, with a desire to remain undefeated in his home waters.
More action Monday for the last day of this exciting championship. 9 nations represented among the 36 entries.
