Mixed fortunes and high drama as Pieter-Jan Postma leads into deciding day at Finn Europeans in Barcelona
Day five at the Finn Europeans had it all. Anticipation, excitement, disappointment and high drama. Pieter-Jan Postma (NED) takes the overall lead for the first time and goes into the final day with a ten point lead over his training partner Josh Junior (NZL). Milan Vujasinovic (CRO) is back up to third.
The final race is scheduled at 09.30 to make the most of the morning wind. After completion of the final race, the fleet will come back to shore. After protest time limit, the top 10 will race the Medal Race. No races will be started after 17.00.
It is the intention to have a Medal Race after the final fleet race. In this case the Medal Race will be broadcast live. If the final race can only be scheduled in the afternoon after 14.00, this would prevent the Medal Race from occurring. In this case the final race will be broadcast live. In both cases, it is expected that the live racing will not happen before 13.00.
