Yesterday saw a further two winners' finals in each of the men's and women's divisions as Antoine Albeau and Julien Quentel claimed victories, whilst Delphine Cousin defeated Sarah-Quita Offringa for the first time this week, before SQO returned to winning ways in the next race. The next elimination is vital as the second elimination will come into play. At the moment just 1.3 points separate Quentel - who leads - and Albeau at the top - with each sailor hoping to discard 7th pleas from race 7. Whoever does better in this elimination could very well go on to win the event. Skippers' meeting coming up in 10 minutes.
