Day 4 of the Tokyo Games Sailing events and a full-on day with the two 470 and the Nacra 17 multihull, joining the other seven classes on the water.
Conditions very different to what we have seen over the first three days with 15 + breeze and a rolling swell making an akward sea-state.
The RS:X windsurfers returned for their second series and in the men’s event, Kiran Badloe (2,4,1) of Holland takes the overall lead, eight points clear of Mattia Camboni (8,-13,4) of Italy with Thomas Goyard of France (3,6,7) in third place.
Britain’s Tom Squires took his first race win and a 4 and 8 put him now fifth overall.
In the women’s RS:X, Emma Wilson of Britain took two more race wins to go clear overall leader, but just by one point ahead of China’s Yunxiu Lu (4,2,1).
A UFD in the final race of the day is now Wilson’s discard.
Charline Picon of France (2,3,6) is in third place . . . these three forming a tight leading pack covered by just three points.
The change in conditions played to the British strength, no more than in the Finn, where Giles Scott nailed both his races and moves into fifth, three points off the leaders.
Alican Kaynar (-13) of Turkey leads, now tied on eight points with Zsombor Berecz (-9,4) of Hungary and Joan Cardona ((-5,3) holds onto third with nine points.
The men’s 49er were catching up with their delayed schedule and with four races completed Britain’s Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell (-8,4,1) hold a one point lead from Diego Botin and Iago Lopez (1,2,5) of Spain.
In third place are Australia’s William Phillips and Sam Phillips (4,1,-8) three points back. The defending champions, Pete Burling and Blair Tuke of New Zealand, are in fourth with a 3, 8, 2, scoreline today.
First day winners, Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove (12,11,-13) of Ireland, have dropped back to to 11th overall.
The 470 started their series today and in the mens, it was no suprise to see the Aussie pair, Matt Belcher and Will Ryan (2,5) take the lead followed by the Kiwi pair, Paul Snow-Hansen and Dan Willcox (6,2).
But they did not manage a race win between them, those went to Jordi Xammar and Rodriguez Garcia-Paz (10,1) of Spain and Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom (1,15) of Sweden.
Britain’s Luke Patience and Chris Grube (3, 8) made a strong start and are fourth overall, tied on 11 points with third place Xammar and Garcia-Paz.
Also a strong start for defending champion Hannah Mills and Eilidh McIntyre (4,3) in the women’s 470, where they sit in third overall after the first two races.
Poland’s Agnieszka Skrzypulec and Jolanta Ogar had a storming start, winning both of the day’s races to lead by three pooints from Camille Lecointre and Aloise Retornaz (3,2) of France.
In the women’s 49FX, Britain’s Charlotte Dobson and Saskia Tidey (4,2,5) keep their lead, now five points clear of Annemiek Bekkering and Annette Duetz (1,6,1) who added two races wins today.
Tamara Echegoyen and Paula Barcelo (2,3,3) of Spain recover to third overall.
While the Danes, Marie Nielsen and Marie Thusgaard (5,1,11) took a win and remain in fourth overall.
Final racing of the day was for the Nacra 17 where Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti of Italy top the leaderboard with a 1, -3, 1, score.
Second are Paul Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer (5,1,-7) of Germany and third Australia’s Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin (2,-11,4).
Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet (-7,5,2) take fourth place, just one point off the leading pack, after a gtreat final race that Gimson finished without a tiller extention.
