The third and final day of Qualifying at the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra17 Worlds taking place in Auckland, New Zealand.
The cut-off for the gold fleet racing is 25th place. Fail to make the cut – and the best you can finish is 26th overall.
In the Nacra 17, John Gimson and Anna Burnet (3,9,9,2) have a one point lead ahead of Vittorio Bissaro and Maelle Frascari (2,6,2,1) of Italy.
Nathan and Haylee Outteridge (UFD,3,2,1) of Australia are a further point back in third place.
Ben Saxton and Nicola Boniface (3,1,9,16) drop back to sixth overall and 14 points off leaders Gimson and Anna Burnet.
John Gimson: “Quite a stressful day with three wacky light races but we managed to just about keep all the scores inside the top 10 with a couple of big comebacks, which I think will be important heading in to gold fleet – it only gets harder from here.”
In the 49er championship Dylan Fletcher and Stu Bithell (10,5,6,10) slip to fifth overall, 19 points off new leaders Erik Heil and Thomas Plossel of Germany.
Heil and Plossel have a one point lead ahead of Pete Burling and Blair Tuke of New Zealand, with in third place Ben Bildstein and David Hussl of Austria.
Nevin Snow and Dane Wilson of the USA jump into fourth place, four points ahead of Britain’s Fletcher and Bithell.
Moving into the lead the women’s 49erFX championship are Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze of Brazil who took two wins from the four races.
