- A day with no racing off La Grande Motte in the South of France
The strong Tramontana wind which blowing Thursday morning dropped suddenly and shortly after the start of the first race, the race officers had to sound the cancellation, the wind having completely disappeared.
And so it was a return to shore for the 73 crews at the Nacra 15 World Championships and they then did not return to the water until 2:00 p.m. for a second, ultimately unsuccessful attempt.
So it was a day with no racing off La Grande Motte in the South of France.
Thus the Swiss mixed duo Axel Grandjean and Noémie Fehlmann lead with 16 points, ahead of Thomas Proust and Eloïse Clabon with 17 points and Manolo Geslin Grimaud and Marion Declef on 25 points.
Four races scheduled Friday – the final day – practically any team in the top 10 can realistically harbor hopes of finishing on the podium.
Best placed British competitors are Theo Williams and Abi Clarke 13th overall and Ben Harris and Annabel Luxton in 26th place.
