On Friday the iQFoil International Race Committee set the long course for the Marathon, the third discipline of the iQFOiL revolutionary format that counts double.
After a spectacular Rabbit Start, six miles sailing upwind and six downwind proved to be challenging for both boys and girls.
The first to cross the line was Britain’s Islay Watson to confirm her second place overall. She was followed by Holland’s Sara Wennekes and then Lucie Belbeoch of France.
In the Men the winner of the Marathon was Clement Burgeois (FRA), followed by his fellow countryman Nicolas Goyard and then Huig-Jan Tak of Holland.
Saturday is the fifth and final day of the 2021 iQFOiL International Games and the knock-out Medal Races will take place for the best 12 of the overall ranking.
The first and second will go straight to the final race, the third and fourth will go to the semis and from fifth to twelfth will race in the quarter final.
The last four of every race will be eliminated and won’t access to the next round, until a winner-takes-it-all final among the four best sailors of each fleet.
