Britain’s Peters and Sterritt in the 49er, and Black and Tidey in the 49er finished the first day of the Lanzarote International Regatta in their leading groups.
Keanu Prettner and Jakob Flachberger (9, 1,1) of Austria lead the men’s 49er . . . counting two race wins from their three races.
While James Peters and Fynn Sterritt (4,3,2) finished second overall 3pts of the leaders.
Ireland’s Robert Dickson and Sean Waffilove (1,6,6) took a win in the opening race to place third, tied on 7pts with Diego Botin and Florian Trittel of Spain.
In the women’s 49erFX, the winners of the past two Olympic Games, Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (8,1) of Brazil wasted no time in taking the lead, but after only two races.
Britain’s Freya Black and Saskia Tidey also started well, winning the first race but a 13th in the second drops them to third overall 2pts behind Jana Germani and Giorgia Bertuzzi of Italy.
In the mixed 470 fleet, scoring was very haphazard, with European champions Anton Dahlberg (7,5,1) and Lovisa Karlsson of Sweden in a four-way tie on 6pts.
They are on the same points with the Swiss Mermod Yves and Siegentahler Maja (119,1,5), Germany’s World Champions Luise Wanser and Philipp Autenrieth (2,UFD,4) and Spain’s Jordi XammerR and Nora Brugman (3,3,12).
Best of the British are Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre (28,9,9) in11th place, with Hannah Bristow and James Taylor 12th and Vita Heathcote and Ryan Orr 13th.
The first day was challenging with big swell, big shifts, and flaky breeze leading to the range of scores over the races. The forecast for Saturday and the coming days is looking very good.
