After a rest day yesterday, Waterhouse/Darmanin on the flying cat revelled in today's light weather (so light that racing was delayed a couple of hours), scoring 1st, 4th & 5th lifting them to 4th overall, and only three points behind third with three races remaining.
The big boys in the Finn also came back from a rest day. Jake Lilley finished 15th & 6th in their two races, to sit 9th overall with two races left. He's too far back on points to be a medal contender, but there's room to move up the order if he can string up some good results.
The 49ers completed their main series today, both of our crews outside the Top 10, so not in Monday's medal races. Phillips brothers placed 14th, 8th & 9th, to finish the regatta in 12th place. Lloyd/Ryan scored 11th, 8th & 8th to finish 13th. The Kiwis go into the men's medal race with a four point lead over the tied British and Spanish crews, with the German and Danish crews, who are also tied, another 10 points back. The women's fleet is also tight at the pointy end, with the Dutch & Brazilian top two tied, German crew 3rd three points back and another four to fourth placed Spanish crew.
