McDonald, who had a faltering start to the 14-boat championships with an untypical seventh scored in Monday's final race, rebounded on Tuesday morning to secure the lead on nine points after six races sailed and be ten points clear at the top of the scoreboard.
Early leader, Kinsale Yacht Club's Mícheál Ó’Súilleabháin sailing Dutch Gold is now third overall on 20, with Andrew Boyle's Royal Irish No Show up into second place by a single point.

Racing continues on Wednesday with the Harbour Race for all classes as part of the five-day schedule at Cork Week 2024.
