Final day of series racing at the Princess Sofia Regatta before the top ten of each class compete for the podium places on Saturday.
From the early results the British team have managed to qualify for the Medal races in Nacra17, 470, 49erFX, Radial, Laser, IQ Foil and Kite events.
A big effort by Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre in the 470 . . . winning the final race put them through to the Medal race in tenth place, just behind team-mates Vita Heathcote and Ryan Orr.
Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet slipped to third overall in the Nacra 17, but are still in with the chance of silver or Bronze. Italy’s Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti have already claimed the Nacra 17 gold, barring accidents.
Britain’s Freya Black and Saskia Tidey dropped back to eighth today in the 49erFX, so are out of the podium contention, but this has been a great performance by the new pairing at their first international level event.
Not such good news in the men’s 49er, where Nick Robins and Daniel Budden finished in 20th place.
Britain’s Tokyo gold medalist, Dylan Fletcher, now sailing with crew Rhos Hawes, only finished the first two races here. While the number two pair, James Peters and Alex Hughes missed a couple of races and failed to make the gold fleet.
In the women’s Radial, Sarah Douglas of Canada confirmed her gold medal, leaving Britain’s Hannah Snellgrove and Vasileia Karachaliou of Greece battling for the silver and bronze.
Britain’s Mike Beckettt tops the Laser leaderboard and gold is just a race away . . . Philipp Buhl GER and Matt Wearn AUS will be trying to spoil his party. Also in the Medal race is Elliot Hanson.
In the women’s IQ Foil, Hélène Noesmoen of France regained the lead, second is Pilar Lamadrid ESP and third Daniela Peleg ISR, Britain’s Islay Watson now fourth. Noesmoen goes direct to the Medal race, the others race a series of six quarter finals races, four semi finals races and the final medal race is then contested over three races.
In the men, Britain’s Andy Brown finished the series as leader to go direct to the Medal race. While Luuc Van Opzeeland NED and the rest of the top ten, including Brits Samuel Sills and Finn Hawkins race the six quarter finals, four semi finals and the final three race medal scenario./
In the women’s Formula Kite . . . Lauriane Nolot FRA and Daniela Moroz USA go through to the Medal race, while those in 3 to 14 race a two race semi final from which the winners advance to the medal race.
Britain’s Ellie Aldridge, Katie Dabson (5th) Maddy Anderson (6th) and Jemima Crathorne (13th) will compete in the Kite semi-finals.
In the men’s Formula Kite . . . Theo De Ramescourt FRA extended his lead over Benoit Gomez FRA and they go direct to the Medal Race. Britain’s Connor Bainbridge is third and will contest the semi-finals, as will Guy Bridge (7th) for a place in the four person final Medal race.
