On day four of the Hobie 16 North Americans had to light to moderate races today with winds again out of the east.

Puerto Ricans Enrique Figueroa and Victor Aponte extended their lead with two race winds. Americans Geoff Becker and Krista Hankins suffered an OCS but remain in second going into the last day. South African expatriate and New Jersey resident Mark Modderman sailing with American Sandra Tartaglino have moved into third.

The final day of racing will take place on Friday and the forecast is for more typical thermal breezes.
