In a day described as ‘random’ by most of the fleet, Holland’s Odile van Aanholt and Elise de Ruyter (1,6) take a stranglehold on the lead at the 49erFX World Championship.
As it stands heading into the final day, the Dutch now sit 17 points ahead of their rivals. Helene Naess and Marie Ronnington (14,3) of Norway are in second and Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (3,18) of Brazil third.
Light winds and a delayed start meant only two races were held, and in each race, the Dutch made mammoth downwind comebacks to beat out their rivals and score low points on the day.
In the men’s 49er, Bart Lambriex and Floris van de Werken (21,2,1) of Holland retain the lead with 69 points.
They have a six point advantage over Germany’s Tim Fischer and Fabian Graf (12,4,5) with Frederik Rask and Jakob Precht Jensen of Denmark now in third place.
The two British crews are Jack Hawkins and Chris Tomas are in 17th place and James Peters and Fynn Sterritt 22nd.
