Marseille's mistral breeze swept Ireland's Finn Lynch into third overall after eight races sailed today in the ILCA 7 at the Paris 2024 Test Event
Lynch has had a consistent regatta with seven top eight results and bounced back from his 15th in race six with a 6,1 in today's breezy races to be six points off the lead.
The Olympic champion Matt Wearn (AUS) jumped ahead of Michael Beckett (GBR) at the top of the ILCA 7 standings after a fine showing, finishing third and then first in the day’s two races.
That was enough to take the top spot from Beckett, who could only finish 14th in the first race and now sits on 26 points, two behind Wearn and within four points of Lynch on 30.
And as in the ILCA 6, Ireland had another success as the National Yacht Club's Lynch won the first race of the day, enough to move into third overall, one point clear of Pavlos Kontides (CYP).
