The qualifying rounds of the 49er and 49erFX Junior World Championship have came to a close.
The qualifying series on Rungsted Harbour, Denmark, wasn’t without its drama.
Over the past few days, they’ve tackled everything from gusty winds and rain to frustrating lulls. Several boats suffered spectacular capsizes in sharp gusts, particularly in the 49erFX fleet.
With light winds forecast for the final series (2–3 August), sailors will need to dig deep into their tactical toolbox.
