Into the final stages of the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 Worlds with focus on making the Medal races – Monday 5 August.
Britain’s Freya Black and Saskia Tidey (10, 1, 9) were the one bright spot for the British Sailing Team 49erFX/49er competitors, winning their second race at the event and moving into third overall.
They are 29 points off the FX leaders, where Holland’s Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz (3, 2, 3) took back the lead with a four point advantage over Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler (1, 13, 2) of Sweden.
Close behind the British pair – just three points – are Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barcelo of Spain in fourth.
In the men’s 49er there was no change of leader but plenty of action . . .
Bart Lambriex and Floris van de Werken (2,2,7) of Holland extended their lead to 13 points ahead of the charging Fantelas . . . Sime and Mihovil Fantela (1, 1, 5) moving from fourth into second.
Diego Botin and Florian Trittel (3, 18, 4) of Spain drop to third.
While the Kiwi pair Logan Dunnning Beck and Oscar Gunn (6, 12, 8) are now fourth and Isaac McHardia and William McKenzie (11, 6, 3) fifth.
The problems continue for the Brits with Chris Taylor and Rhos Hawes (4, 15, 17) best placed in 17th, then James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (22, 22, 11) in 19th.
Better news in the Nacra 17 event . . .
John Gimson and Anna Burnet (3, 8, 2) may not be able to salvage their (double) world title, but they moved into fourth overall and are within striking distance of Finland’s Sinem Kurtbay and Akseli Keskien in third – a seven point gap.
Normal service was resumed for Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti of Italy, with three more race wins stretching their lead to 37 points ahead of Gianluigi Ugolini and Maria Giubilei.
Australia’s Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin are fifth and Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson of New Zealand slip to sixth.
