The final day of fleet racing produced some last minute shakeups, although it also booked the 2022 470 World Title for Germany’s Luise Wanser and Philipp Autenrieth.
Wanser and Autenrieth won the penultimate race and then finished 12th in the final (R11) for an overall total, after discard, of 51 points, a title winning 22 points clear of French pair, Camille Lecointre and Jeremie Mion (14, 9).
Spain’s Jordi Xammer and Nora Brughman move into third place for the Medal race , tied on 80 points with Matisse Pacoud and Lucie De Gennes (-21, 16) of France.
And they will face a battle with Germany’s Simon Diesch and Anna Markfort with 81 pts and Japan’s Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka on 82 pts for the other podium places.
Marco Gradoni and Alessandra Dubbini of Italy hauled themselves into the top ten with a 5 and 2 for 87 pts, to pitch for an outside chance of a medal on Saturday.
Unfortunately no such likelihood for Britain’s Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre (12, 8) who move up to 9th but have 96 pts.
And it was a downbeat ending for Vita Heathcote and Ryan Orr (-25, 17) who dropped out of the top ten to finish 15th.
The top ten boat Medal Race takes place on Saturday 29 October.
