Good morning for the final time from Tallinn, Estonia… Today the 2010 Marinepool Melges 24 World Championship comes to an end with two races scheduled to complete the series. Italy’s Lorenzo Bressani on Uka Uka Racing holds a thirty-two point lead at the top of the overall leaderboard and effectively only needs to score one result inside the top twenty-five to secure his second Melges 24 World Championship. Behind him Norway’s Kristian Nergaard on Baghdad and Italian Alberto Bolzan on Hurricane Murphy & Nye are separated by just five points and we can expect both to be keeping a close eye on the other, whilst also trying to make sure that fourth placed Flavio Favini on the Swiss enntry Blu Moon doesn’t sneak in and steal a podium place. In the Corinthian Division, Norway’s Oyvind Peder Jahre on Storm Capital Sail Racing Team and Estonian Tonu Toniste on Lenny are only five points apart at the top of the table and we can expect an exciting conclusion to this particular battle for sure
