Nailbiting Finish to Conclude Sail Melbourne Regatta
There are just hours to go until the final results of the Sail Melbourne Regatta are known. The final 2 races are being
held today, which marks the end of the 6 day regatta. Results will be posted on the official website this evening at the
conclusion of the day's racing - http://www.sailmelbourne.com.au/results/index.asp
It is down to the wire in a number of classes, and with 2 races to go, there are few clear winners, with the leader
board changing all the time.
NZL Mens Mistral sailors Jon-Paul Tobin and Thomas Ashley are currently in 1st and 2nd place respectively, but with only
2 points separating them after 8 races, it is still anyone's guess as to who the top three will be.
Barbara Kendall (NZL), who earlier led the series, scored a 4-1 yesterday which put her in 2nd place, just behind
Natasha Sturges (GBR), but again only 2 points separate the two on the scoreboard, with Jessica Crisp (AUS) nipping at
their heels in 3rd.
Sarah Macky (Europe) and Andrew May (2.4mr) are still within striking distance of a medal.
470's Shelley Hesson and Linda Dickson are currently in 3rd place, while Jake Bartrom has a healthy 5 point lead on 2nd
placing Richard Howard (AUS) in the Laser Radial fleet.
The final two races will begin at Port Phillip Bay at 2.00pm (4pm our time).
