Video Advisory: Act 4, Cardiff presented by Land Rover – Day Three
Another relentless day at the Extreme Sailing Series™ Act 4, Cardiff presented by Land Rover saw the Extreme 40 fleet complete eight fast paced races on a course that varied from 10-23knots over the short 550m track. With no runaway leader of the day, there was a real mixed bag of results for the teams, as they struggled with the gusty conditions, starting penalties and gear failure.
In a change from yesterdays winning form, current Act leaders The Wave, Muscat had an unusually low scoring day. Their string of race wins were replaced with a string of fourth place finishes adding a conservative (by their standard) 57 points to their total; a respectable result on a day where most teams struggled. Having won in Cardiff for the past two years, McMillan and his experienced crew, including Double Olympic gold medallist Sarah Ayton, go into the final day with a 15-point cushion. Chasing hard in second place, SAP Extreme Sailing Team on 195 points could easily bridge the gap.
Red Bull Sailing Team were the team of the day, with an impressive three race wins on the tricky, gusty course moving them up to third overall on 183 points, with GAC Pindar seven points behind in forth.
Going into the final day of racing just 27 point separates the top three boat and with similar conditions forecast and up to eight races expected the Act is still very much all to play for. Racing kicks off from 14.00 BST. Follow the racing live at www.extremesailingseries.com/live.
