The Lanzarote International Regatta is the last chance for countries to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, and 24 countries are still battling for an Olympic place in the three classes competing here – 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17.
While many of the competitors will welcome this event as a chance to finally get some high-level competition in their build-up to the Europeans scheduled for 4 May in Thessaliniki, Greece, and then the Tokyo Games in July, for others it could be the end of the Olympic road.
In the men’s 49er, Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove (3,3,1) finished as day 1 leaders, raising hopes of qualifying Ireland for the Tokyo Games.
In seond place are the Team GB pair, Dylan Fletcher and Stu Bithell (4,1,4) and third Erwan Fischer and Jukien Thibault (2,2,6) of France.
In the women’s 49erFX, Lili Sebesi and Albane Dubois (2,8,1) of France are tied for the lead with Norway’s Helene Naess and Maria Ronningen (5,2,4) both on 11 points.
In third place are Annemiek Bekkering and Annette Duetz of Holland (1,3,8) with 12 points.
A terrible day for the two British teams who never broke into single figures, with Megan Brickwood and Stephanie Orton in 26 place, and Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey 32nd.
In the Nacra 17 multihull fleet, Germany’s Paul Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer (2,2,1) lead by 10 points from Quen.Delapierre and Manon Audinet (5,2,4) of France.
The organisers aim to run three races per day, finishing with the Medal Races on Friday 26 March.
