2017 Laser Worlds – Day 5 results
Great day for Pavlos Kontides CYP (1-1-1-3-1-DNF–26-2-1-5), now looking recovered of that broken sail on third day and yesterday’s bad single race result.
Cyprus sailor has jumped from 7th to 1st place overall and comfortably reconquered Worlds leadership with 15 points.
A long day with 3 races. A 1st a 2nd and a 5th place sent me up to the top of the competition. Time for rest until tomorrow’s last two races – Pavlos Kontides.
