CORINTHIAN BATTLE HEATS UP WITH TWO DAYS TO GO
With eight of the twelve races now completed the Corinthian (all amateur crew) competition at the Corum Melges 24 Worlds at Ocean Reef is really hotting up. Going into the penultimate day of racing Martin Kullman of St Petersburg, FL, now has a slim four point lead over joint second placed Alba Batzill from Germany and Bruce Ayres of Newport Beach, CA. Fourth placed Shawn Burke is also still in contention for the overall Corinthian honours just eight points behind the leader.
Competition for the Corinthian World Championship is just a tight as in the overall event. Batzill is the reigning European Corinthian Champion and will be keen to add the World's trophy to his cabinet, whilst the home grown US talent is equally determined to prevent the trophy going back across the pond on Saturday.
