Gold for Britain’s Peters and Sterritt in the 49er, and Black and Tidey in the 49erFX on the final day of the Lanzarote International Regatta.
Conditions meant that only the 470 competitors managed to complete another series race before their Medal Race, the 49er and FX skipped another series race to concentrate on their Medal races.
In the women’s 49erFX Medal Race Freya Black and Saskia Tidey finished fourth to clinch the Gold, finishing three points ahead of Jana Germani and Giorgia Bertuzzi of Italy.
In the battle for the third podium place, Stephanie Roble and Maggie Shea of the USA won the medal race to snatch Bronze ahead of Brazil’s Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze, second in the medal race.
In the men’s 49er Medal Race, James Peters and Fynn Sterritt mirrored their teammates with a fourth place finish to take the Gold.
They finished with a with a 22pt advantage over Logan Dunnning and Oscar Gunn of New Zealand, while Bronze went to Keanu Prettner and Jakob Flachberger of Austria.
The medal race was won by Lucas Rual and Emile Amoros of France.
In the mixed 470 fleet there was a major upset as Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson of Sweden, who had dominated the earlier racing, collected a UFD in the final series race and then finished last in the medal race.
This upset meant that Spain’s Jordi Xammer and Nora Brugnman took the Gold, just one point ahead Silvia Mas Depares and Nicolás Rodriguez of Spain . . . despite their winning the medal race.
Dahlberg and Karlsson finished with the Bronze, three points off leaders Xammer and Brugnman.
For the British the 470 the performance here was very much a work-in-progress.
Best placed were Vita Heathcote and Ryan Orr in 14th with Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre 19th overall.
The Lanzarote regatta continues Tuesday with four days of racing for the Nacra 17 catamaran and the men’s and women’s iQFOiL windsurfers.
Next full Olympic classes event is the Hempel WC Series event – Trophy SAR Princess Sofia – in Palma, Mallorca at the end of March.
