LEE LAI-SHAN, known among fans as San San, was in first place and her protege Chan Wai-kei in 13th ahead of yesterday's final races at the 2003 Mistral European Championships in Sicily, Italy.
San San's lead is no surprise and she was expected to clinch an overall win when the competition wraps up early this morning (Hong Kong time).
Chan Wai-kei's sister, Wai-man, was in 26th place prior to yesterday's races.
The 21-year-old Wai-kei is the future hope of Hong Kong windsurfing.
She was a silver medal winner behind San San at the Asian Championships in Penang, Malaysia in March. The young talent proved she can also mix it with the best beyond the regional level when she finished 13th at the World Championships in Thailand last December.
That result earned Hong Kong a single place in the women's mistral event at the 2004 Athens Olympics.
