'Day 8 - Star European Championship 2011' David Branigan/Oceansport

Star European Championship 2011 at Royal St. George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire, Ireland is currently underway. The weather gods finally allowed a full day of racing as a moderate westerly breeze allowed Principal Race Officer David Lovegrove and his team to deliver three races.

It is hoped to have two races tomorrow ahead of the forecast for heavier winds.

With their form unchanged since Sunday, Italians Diego Negri and Enrico Voltolini extended their overall lead in the 26-boat fleet, counting one win plus a third place while discarding their eighth place in race six.

Polish 2008 World champion and past Finn Olympic Gold medallist Mateusz Kusznierewicz with Dominik Zycki also showed good pace, with a fifth place and a win yesterday while discarding a ninth in the hunt for the overall lead. Canada's Richard Clarke with Tyler Bjorn also moved up a place to third overnight as the final two races are slated for Friday - weather permitting.

In local interest, a slip in form for Peter O'Leary and David Burrows saw the Cork/Dublin pair drop to fifth place while Max Treacy and Anthony Shanks failed to find their form today.

Provisional overall standings after six races:
1st ITA Diego Negri & Enrico Voltolini
2nd POL Mateusz Kusznierewicz Dominik Zycki
3rd CAN Richard Clarke & Tyler Bjorn
4th FRA Guillaume Florent & Pascal Rambeau
5th IRL Peter O'Leary & David Burrows
6th POR Afonso Domingos & Frederico Melo
