After four races in the Star Worlds in Sweden Irish crews are placed 18th and 24th overall. In a reversal of fortunes for Peter O'Leary and Tim Goodbody the Eastern European champions crashed out of the top ten after two races when they counted a 53rd yesterday afternoon in race four. Max Treacy and Anthony Shanks from Dun Laoghaire stay in 18th in the 87-boat fleet. Race five of the six race series in Varberg is scheduled this morning. On completion of five races teams will be able to discard their worst score.
