- Kiel Week day 8 provided lightwind sailing for the last day of fleet racing
The final day of fleet racing provided some upsets for those that did actually manage to complete some races.
Particularly spectacular was the performance of Britain’s James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (3,4) who took themselves from 6th into a four point overall lead going into Sunday’s 49er medal race.
The two races for the 49er provide other upsets . . . with the leaders, Ireland’s Robert Dickson and Seán Waddilove (22,24) dropping to 8th place, and 3rd placed Sime and Mihovil Fantela (16,12) out of contention in 11th.
In the women’s 49erFX, with just one race completed, Sophie Steinlein and Thomas Plorel (1) of Germany now have an 11 point lead from Sweden’s Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler (20). Canada’s Georgia and Antonia Lewin-Lafrance (8) move into third place.
Britain’s Megan Brickwood and Stephanie Orton finished 15th.
In the men’s ILCA 7, the one race produced a new leader . . .
Valtteri Uusitalo of Finland despite being black-flagged has a one point lead from Wannes van Laer (1) of Belgium, Kaarle Tapper of Finland (DNC) is now third.
And a good result for Britain’s Arthur Farley (4) who moves up into 6th place, but a podium finish could be a stretch!
In the women’s ILCA 6, Mara Stransky (14) of Australia has a 14 point lead from Mirthe Akkerman (9) of Holland, with Monika Mikkola (1) in 3rd place.
Best British competitor is Molly Sacker (BFD) in 15th place.
No racing for the Nacra 17 so the leaderboard remains unchanged.
Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti of Italy lead by seven points from John Gimson and Anna Burnet , with third Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawso of New Zealand.
In the mixed 470 event, Germay’s Luise Wanser and Philipp Autenrieth (3) lead by one point from Malte and Anastasiya Winkel (1).
The women iQFoil board have completed seven races, leader is Lena Erdil of Germany from Lærke Buhl-Hansen of Denmark.
In the men iQFoil with nine race completed, Sebastian Koerdel of Germany leads from Ethan Westra of Aruba.
No British entries in the 470 or the men’s and women’s iQFoil events.
