A dramatic change at the top of the leaderboard with Germany’s Simon Diesch and Anna Markfort winning all three of their qualifying races to take a five point lead.
In second place are the defending European champions from Sweden Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson jumping from 17th after being able to discard an earlier 21st place from their scores.
They are tied on 11 points with Camille Lecointre and Jeremie Mion of France, with Hippolyte Machetti and Aloïse Retornaz, also of France in fourth on 12 points.
Both the top French teams have kept all five of their scores inside the top 10, a feat only matched by the Japanese team, Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka, whose consistency lifts them to sixth overall, one point behind Jordi Xammer and Nora Brugman of Spain.
Overnight leaders Theresa Loffler and Christopher Hoerr of Germany failed to repeat their opening day upset, and slip down to ninth overall.
Martin Wrigley and Bettine Harris now lead the British Sailing Team competitors in 27th place, to scrape into the gold fleet with Hannah Bristo and James Taylor in 32. Vita Heathcote and Ryan Orr are in 38th.
Thursday sees the start of gold fleet competition when the top half of the fleet line up against each other for the first time. Three races are scheduled.
