Yachting: Ashley leading boardsailing fleet

Boardsailor Tom Ashley was back in front of his fleet yesterday, with one day left to sail in an Olympic classes regatta in France.

Ashley, second overall when racing resumed at Hyeres, had placings of 28th, which he was able to discard, and second to be 18 points clear of his nearest rival, Israeli Shahar Zubari.

Jo Aleh and Dan Slater were third overall in the laser radial and finn events respectively, while laser sailor Andrew Murdoch was fourth.
