Ceci sits in 21st in the 121 Laser radial fleet and is followed by teammates Benn Smith in 37th, Peter Dill in 39th and Samantha Dill in 115th.

Christian Ebbin, of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, sits in second in the Optimist Green fleet after six races, two points adrift of leader Stephen Momeier of Lakewood Yacht Club.

He has so far managed four top-five finishes that includes three thirds.

Also in the thick of the hunt is RHADC sailor Aiden Lopes who sits in fifth, 16 points off the lead pace. In eighteenth is Ethan Edmunds who is closely followed by team-mates Daniel Larson, Jacob Pimentel and Magnus Ringsted who occupy twentieth, 21st and 22nd respectively. Further down the leaderboard is Cameron Lucas in 47th.

There were no results posted at press time for the Red, White and Blue Optimist fleets.

Racing was originally scheduled to start on Saturday but was delayed a day because of a lack of wind.

Yesterday’s racing was held in gentle breezes which gradually decreased throughout the day.
