Jury room outcomes from the second day of racing for the Flying Fifteen Worlds off Melbourne, saw 3917 Mike Hart disqualified in race 3, and the whole Spanish team was disqualified in Race 2.
On day three, in Race 4 Art Gekko (Mike Hart) came in before N/a (Alan Bax) and **** (Barry Parkin). Race 5 changed to a local victory with No Bull (Grant Alderson) from Art Gekko and TBA (Steve Goacher).
However, Alderson has since been disqualified from race 5 due to the black flag rule, which will change the results a bit! (The results below remain provisional to date.)
Overall it is two British boats in the lead, with the best Kiwi likely to move up to third overall after Alderson's BFG takes effect on the results.
It was an interesting day to say the least, and a long day for all. Black flags were on display, and were used.
From the jury deliberations, at 10.37pm EST, we can report that:
3835 (No Bull - Grant Alderson) BFG race 5
3883 (Sucking Feagulls - Andy Goddard) DSQ race 5
3541 (Snafler - Richard Guy) DSQ race 5
Findings related to 3846 (Demon Three - Alan Carson) were held over.
The provisional results (top six placings overall) will be amended to reflect the above-mentioned protest outcomes tomorrow:
1= 3821 TBA Steve Goacher (GBR) 1-3-(13)-6-3 13pts
1= 3911 **** Barry Parkin (GBR) (6)-1-5-3-4 13pts
3. 3833 No Bull Grant Alderson (AUS) 2-2-12-(12)-1 17pts
4. 3781 16 David Tucker (NZL) (15)-5-1-5-11 22pts
5. 3931 N/a Alan Bax (GBR) 8-4-(40)-2-9 23pts
6. 3739 Ffortune Aaron Goodmanson (NZL) 5-6-(11)-7-6 24pts
