Penultimate day at the ILCA European Continental Qualification event in Vilamoura.
In the men’s Laser event they would do well to heed the Toby Keith song, ‘Don’t let the old man in’ as Brazil’s Robert Scheidt out-scored all those above him to move into seconed place with two final races to be sailed on Saturday.
Overnight leader Mike Becket (33, 19) had his worse day but keeps a 14 point lead, with Scheidt (14, 5) in second and Philipp Buhl (20, 2) of Germany taking third place.
Filip Jurisic (5, 36) slips to fourth, Spain’s Joel Rodriguez (12,32) to fifth and Tonči Stipanovic (16, 30) to eighth.
While gaining places for the final day were Jean Bernaz (19, 1) of France now in sixth, and Elliot Hanson (7, 9) continuing to climb to ninth overall.
The other gold fleet race winner was Pavlos Kontides (1, 3) with his best day to place 18th overall.
Simlarly in the women’s event, the podium places changed, except for leader Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark (4,5).
Rindom is coasting to victory with a 29 point lead as her recent challengers fell short, and Sweden’s Josefin Olsson (10, 4) moves into second with Manami Doi (12, 7) of Japan now third.
Britain’s Alison Young (2, 1) found the go-fast conditions to her liking to move up to tenth overall, and finally ahead of her team-mate Hannah Snellgrove (24, 24) now 17th.
