Red Bull Sailing Team were the team of the day, with an impressive three race wins on the tricky, gusty course. These results move them up to third overall on 183 points going in to the final day's racing, with GAC Pindar seven points behind in forth.
“The whole course is quite tricky, coming into the finish you head into a lull and the other teams would come flying in with the pressure doing everything they could to get ahead, whilst all you are trying to do is defend your position. But that is just how it is in short course racing, we love it,” said Red Bull Sailing Team Skipper, Hans Peter Steinacher.
In the chasing pack several teams suffered gear failure as the boats and crews were put under pressure, dealing with the gusty conditions. Gazprom Team Russia finished the day with 163 points in fifth place despite a broken winch. Worst hit were Oman Air, who after four good races had to call it a day when their starboard mainsheet winch pulled clean off the deck, leaving the boys to limp ashore for overnight repairs ready for tomorrow's showdown.
Going into the final day of racing just 27 point separates the top three boats and with similar conditions to today forecast and up to eight races expected, Act 4 is still very much up for grabs.
