Day 4 of the JJ Giltinan 18ft Skiff World Championship sees a thrilling return to action on Sydney Harbour. A steady 15-18 knot North East breeze lifts the competition after Day 3's postponement.

In Race 4, Shaw and Partners Financial Services-Australia, led by Keagan York, Max Paul, and Tom Anderson, dominates to secure a 39-second victory over defending champions Yandoo, helmed by John Winning Jr. Queensland’s GC Sails finishes third, just three seconds behind with a torn spinnaker.

Race 5 shifts momentum as Lazrus Capital Partners, featuring Tom Cunich, Marc Chapon, and Tim Westwood, claims victory by six seconds over Yandoo, with Germany’s Black Knight finishing third.

Yandoo maintains the overall lead with 13 points, while Shaw and Partners-Australia sits in second with 19 points. The leaderboard remains tight with four races still to go, promising intense competition ahead.
