18-Footer - JJ Giltinan Trophy - Sydney AUS - Race 6

Rain and an up to 15 kn breeze prevailed today on Sydney Harbour where the JJ Giltinan Championship continued after the lay day. The big news before the 6th race were, that the redress given to ‘Yamaha’ NZL after the abandoned 3rd race was overturned when ‘Appliancesonline’ AUS protested against the redress given. ‘Yamaha’ must therefore count the 27 points on its result sheet.
But ‘Yamaha’ with David McDiarmid NZL showed today her outstanding class, winning the 6th race with a 3:30 min advantage on ‘Cooper Rag and Famish’ AUS and ‘Appliancesonline' AUS. Finishing 4th, ‘Thurlow Fisher Lawyers’ AUS extended her overall lead on the second ‘Cooper Rag and Famish’ with the discard in effect now. The fight for the podium ranks 2 and 3 will be close in tomorrow’s final race with ‘C-Tech’ NZL, ‘Appliancesonline’ AUS and ‘Smeg’ AUS closely together. For ‘Yamaha’, the podium is probably out of reach as they still count a 19th place in theresults after discarding the 27 points.
