Mongia-Garg bounce back with win

The protest by the Yadavs were about an incident that happened on the third beat first leg of the second triangle. Naresh Yadav claimed Mongia-Garg tacked into their waters. 8220;When he tacked into my waters, I had to tack to avoid collision. I warned him but he continued to do so,8221; explained Naresh Yadav.

Ashim had this to say: 8220;We were way ahead of Naresh Yadav. They had enough room to manoeuvre.8221;

The fourth race was much closer with not just Mongia-Garg and the Yadavs fighting it out. Dilip Acharya-Jitendra Rami were very muchin the picture. They were in fact leading until they hit the buoy-marker and did a penalty of 720 degree turn. The lead slipped out of their hands and Mongia grabbed it to win the race.

Both Mongia-Garg and the Yadavs had a bad start which allowed Acharya-Rami, who came in from the left, to sneak ahead at the first mark. Mongia-Garg and then the Yadavs followed him in that order.

At the completion of the first triangle, Acharya-Rami were 10 seconds ahead of the other two pairs.

Mongia-Garg, who were breathing down the Acharya-Rami pair for the first half of the race, lost out on speed on the run. 8220;There were too many boats clustered together. We were getting blanketted out as the wind was right behind us and so were the boats,8221; opined Ashim Mongia.

At the rounding of the mark after the loop, Acharya-Rami touched the mark and did the penalty. It was a particularly tight rounding with at least five boats coming close to the mark.

On the beat thereafter, Mongia-Garg went to the left and so did theYadavs. At the third windward mark, Mongia-garg came in from the right and rounded first, Yadavs followed them. Amol Rane-Girish Rao, who kept moving up to the fourth position, suffered a capsize when they were in the third position.Mehul Ashar-Rahul Kansar took over the third position and maintained it till the finish. Acharya-Rami finished fourth.
