- Day 2 of the 2022 49er, FX and Nacra 17 European Championships in Aarhus, Denmark.
Mihovil Fantella of Croatia bolted the port wing back onto his 49er early this morning after a starting line crash in Tuesday’s third race wrecked his boat, sails and rig.
After some late night epoxy work and hours of rigging they hammered out a 1, 10, 2 scoreline on Wednesday which moves them into second place, just four points behind Bart Lambriiex and Floris van de Werken of Holland.
Britain’s James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (8, 5, 3) dropped to third, tied on 16 points with the Australian pair Jim Colley and Shaun Conner and the New Zealand pair Isaac McHardie and William McKenzie.
In the women’s 49erFX, the Danes, Johanne and Andrea Schimit (1, 12, 3) lead with 12 points, Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler (1, 2, 8) of Sweden move into second with 14 points. And Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea (3, 5, 3) of the USA are third with 15 points.
Freya Black and Saskia Tidey (7,17,7) in tenth are best placed British pair. Megan Brickwood and Stephanie Orton (15,7,18) are now 17th.
In the Nacra 17 multihull, Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti of Italy continued their domination of the class with back to back wins and an eighth place discard. They now lead by 14 points from Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson (2, 2, 12) of New Zealand.
Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet (10, 3, 10) hold onto third place with 31 points, one point ahead of Paul Kohlhoff and Alica Stuhlemmer of Germany.
Winners of the third Nacra race were Italy’s Vittorio Bissaro and Maelle Fraccari who are 11th overall.
