Day 3 of the Hempel World Cup Miami on Biscayne Bay.
For Britain’s Luke Patience and Chris Grube in the men’s 470, a 9th and 5th place keep them in eighth place overall, but does nothing to improve their chances of finishing on the podium.
Their main target now to finish in the top ten and make the medal race on Saturday, the podium will need a bit more Patience and Grube magic!
Matt Belcher and Will Ryan (1, 3) of Australia move into the lead, as Sweden’s Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergström (5, 15) drop to second and Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis (3, 11) of Greece to third overall.
The American pair Stuart Mcnay and David Hughes (8, 2) gain two places to seventh overall.
In the women’s 470, Camille Lecointre and Aloise Retornaz of france increase their lead to eight points ahead of Agnieszka Skrzypulec and Jolanta Ogar of Poland.
In the Finn class, Caleb Paine and Luke Muller are going head-to-head for the chance to represent the USA at Tokyo 2020.
Paine (2, 2) has opened his lead to eight points from countryman Muller. Third is Oisin McClelland (4, 1) of Ireland.
Wednesday saw uncharacteristically cold and blustery conditions in Biscayne Bay.
