Wednesday day 4 of the Paris 2024 Sailing Test Event taking place in Marseille, France.
And after a day where conditions made life tricky for plenty of classes, excitement is building about the prospect of the Mistral conditions expected on Thursday.
If it does arrive It will be interesting to see how this changes the leaderboards.
For the classes that have completed four days racing – ILCA 6 & 7, Kite Men & Women and 470 – the opportunity to make it into the Medal Races on Saturday is rapidly closing.
This could be critical for those still trying to convince their national authority that they should be selected for Paris 2024.
Wednesday was a rest day for the ILCA 6 and 7. Thursday will be a rest day for the 49er, Nacra 17 and the Kite events.

- Kite Men – Axel Mazella FRA
- Kite Women – Lauriane Nolot FRA
