Three from the State, KS Anirudh, Neelanand and Navyn Prabhakar are leading the fleet at the end of seven races.
Anirudh had a disastrous first race with a bad start. However, undaunted he cleared the top three with some stupendous sailing that saw him win two races and end up on top of the ladder with just 14 points after one discard.
Vijay Sabavath of Telangana, a student of Telangana Social Welfare Schools is holding on to the fourth spot and remains within striking distance of a podium finish.
