Day 3 of the Tokyo Games Sailing events with the men’s 49er, women’s 49erFX and men’s Finn, joining the Men’s Laser and women’s Radial events.
The warnings of a typhoon were downgraded to a tropical storm, but disruption to the racing due to light winds delayed the racing schedule.
The women’s 49erFX event completed their three scheduled races with Britain’s Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey taking the overall lead.
Dobson and Tidey take a three point lead after winning the first two races and discarding a sixth place in race 3.
In second place are Stephanie Roble and Margaret Shea (3, 2, -14) of the USA on five points and third Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (-15, 5, 1) of Brazil with six points after winning the final race.
Ireland’s Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove won the opening race of the men’s 49er with Britain’s Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell second and third Erik Heil and Thomas Ploessel of Germany.
The start to the 49er racing was delayed and then the first race abandoned after the second mark due to the wind change.
When the first race eventually got away the Irish, British and German crews dominated the later stages. Dickson and Sean just holding off Fletcher and Bithell at the spinnaker finish.
Hot favourites and defending champions, Peter Burling and Blair Tuke finished in 12th place.
No further 49er racing was possible.
The women’s Radial completed two more races with Maria Rindom of Denmark moving into the overall lead with 22 points after six races completed.
Rindom added two fourth place finishes to take a 14 point lead ahead of Sweden’s Josefin Olsson on 34 points, Marit Bouwmeester of Holland is third with 35 points.
Britain’s Alison Young is in 12th place and has four more races left to climb into the top ten for the Medal race.
Radial race winners were, Josefin Olsson in race 5 and Switzerland’s Maud Jayet in race 6.
The new leader of the men’s Laser is Pavlos Kontides of Cyprus.
Kontides (1, -20, 1) takes a nine point lead after completing three races to bring them back on schedule. In second place is Australia’s Matthew Wearn (4, 2, 2) on 22 points.
Brazil’s Robert Scheidt (3, -17, 5) moves into third overall, one point ahead of Hermann Tomasgaard of Norway.
The other race winner (R5) was Karl-Martin Rammo of Estonia.
Britain’s Elliot Hanson (10, 3, -28) is in eighth place overall.
Tuesday also saw the first races for the men’s Finn class event.
With two races completed, Alican Kaynar of Turkey leads, with second Zsombor Berecz of Hungary and third Spain’s Joan Cardona Mendez.
Defending champion, Britain’s Giles Scott finished ninth.
