Final day of racing at the 470 World Championships in Vilamoura, Portugal, featured the Medal races on Saturday.
From the three world titles decided Saturday Britain had four crews racing in the medal races, with Amy Seabright and James Taylor taking a bronze in the mixed fleet championship.
First up was the men’s medal race.
The 2021 World champions are Sweden’s Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom, with silver for Diogo and Pedro Costa of Portugal and with Spain’s Jordi Xammer and Nicolas Rodriguez taking bronze.
In the women, there was drama at the finish, when the Dutch pair celebrated, thinking they had won as the Spanish pair Silvia Mas Depares and Patricia Cantero crossed the finish behind Britain’s Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre.
The Brits were penalised and had to recross and that elevated Depares and Cantero to third place finishers and winners of the 2021 women’s World title.
Silver went to Afrodite Zegers and Lobke Berhout of Holland with Italy’s Elena Berta and Bianca Caruso taking the bronze.
The 2019 World Champions Mills and McIntyre placed fifth overall.
In the Mixed 470 event, Britain had three crews in the medal race.
The 2021 world title went to Gil Cohen and Noam Homri of Israel, with silver for Tal Sade and Noa Lasry of Israel and Britain’s Amy Seabright and James Taylor taking the bronze.
The Portuguese sailors Pedro and Diogo Costa secured qualification for the Tokyo 2020 Games taking the only slot still available for the men’s 470 class.
