The penultimate day of the 20th Warren Jones International Youth Regatta was a hot and light day for sailors. With the last full day of racing on the schedule before Finals Day tomorrow, teams had their last chance to climb up the rankings and make it into the Top 4.

Josh Hyde has had a successful day on the water climbing up the rankings and is now on the cusp of making it into the Top 4 with 2 critical flights remaining that are now planned to be sailed tomorrow morning before the finals, weather permitting. Cole Tapper, Ethan Prieto-Low, Marcello Torre and Max Paul are all currently positioned as the Top 4 teams, but all is to play for in the second Round Robin.

Tomorrow's forecast is looking to follow suit with the forecasts we've seen earlier this week, a light start to the morning before the wind swings around and the sea breeze fills in just in time for the Final Series to start.

Tomorrow we will find out whether Ethan Prieto-Low will have the chance to defend his title and go back to back Warren Jones International Youth Regatta Champion or will a new champion be named?
