After the final day of gold fleet racing, the Nacra 17, 49er and 49erFX World Championship fleets are reduced to just ten competitors in each fleet for their two Medal Series races.
In the 49er classes the nett points of the top ten are adjusted (divided by 2.25) to produce the starting points for Sunday’s Medal Series racing.
The effect of the ‘adjustment’ is to allow more of the medal series qualifiers to have the opportunity to improve their position in the two final races while maintaining the overall status relationship built-up through the earlier series races.
The Nacra 17 also have a two race final series but with the score adjustment depending on the points difference between two boats. Where it is greater than 9 points, the score of the lower placed boat will be reduced so that the difference with the boat ahead of her is 9 points.
Britain has competitors in all three fleets, with John Gimson and Anna Burnet in 3rd in the Nacra 17, James Grummett and Rhos Hawes 8th in the 49er, and Freya Black and Saskia Tidey 10th in the 49erFX.
