World Champions into the Lead at Delta Lloyd
What a day it was for both of the men's and women's defending 470 World Champions as they blased the competition away to take the lead in their respective fleets on day 4 of the Delta Lloyd Regatta. For homegrown talent, Lisa Westerhof and Lobke Berkhout (NED) they delivered two race wins to elevate themselves straight into first overall and secure a 9 point margin over the chasing pack.
An almost as impressive performance from Mat Belcher and Malcolm Page (AUS) who posted a 3,1 to leap ahead of Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic who had held the lead up until now.
