After six rounds of spectacular speed sailing Finian Maynard (BVI) is still leading the 2009 ISWC Speed Windsurfing World Championship. He is now three points ahead of Antoine Albeau (FRA) in second, with Anders Bringdal (SWE) in third, but already clear below. Bjorn Dunkerbeck (SUI, Starboard, Severne) and Hans Kreisel (NED) complete the Top 5.

Valerie Ghibaudo (FRA, Loft Sails) has won all heats of the womens competition and is ahead of  Marion Raisi (FRA) and Marie-Paule Geldhof (BEL).

Tomorrows racing should allow for the second discard, which could mix up the rankings.
