After two more races on Wednesday, Brendan Casey, from Australia, still leads the Porsche Centre Brisbane 2026 Finn World Masters at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, in Brisbane, Australia. Rafa Trujillo from Spain is second with Karl Purdie from New Zealand up to third. Race wins went to Casey and Purdie.
There are 107 Finns from 16 countries taking part.
Two races were scheduled to catch up Tuesday’s lost race, with a much better forecast in place.
Race 4 was a tricky affair with those on the sides coming in deep. Casey rounded from the middle with a nice lead from Australia’s Matt Visser and Fabian Lemmel third. Most favoured the middle right on the second upwind but while some sailed themselves back through the fleet, the top three remained the same.
There was a long wait for the next race as the wind began shifting through 50 degrees. Twice the committee boat had to move to reset the course. But eventually it got away with just enough time before sunset. Boats from the right rounded first with Rob McMillan from Australia rounding first from New Zealand’s Karl Purdie and Filipe Silva from Portugal. Purdie had the lead at the gate and just held off Trujillo at the top to lead down to win. Silva crossed third with event leader Casey struggling to cross in 15th.

Two more races are scheduled for Thursday, however the forecast is challenging with strong winds expected, so racing is in doubt. The event concludes on Friday.
