Monday was decision day for the two ILCA fleets with their Medal Race on Tuesday, who would make the top ten?
Unfortunately the weather was again a major factor and it turned out to be a long, slow, hot day with little racing and a lot of waiting.
Just one race was finally completed for the women’s ILCA 6 fleet, won by Maria Erdi of Hungary.
Erdi was still outside the top ten, in 14th, but was unable to advance any further as the final race, race 10, was eventually cancelled.
This meant that Marit Bouwmeester took a 21 point overall lead over Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark into the Medal race, and that as they both had unbeatable scores, Bouwmeester claimed an early Gold and Rindom a Silver.
The medal race will still take place, and Bouwmeester and Rindom must race, but only the Bronze medal will be up for grabs.
Britain’s Hannah Snellgrove finished in 12th place, and outside the medal race.
The men’s ILCA 7 racing was cancelled and they go straight to their Medal Race on Tuesday.
Aussi Matt Wearn has a 14 point lead from Pavlos Kontides of Cyprus, with Stefano Peschiera Peru a further 10 pts back.
Peschiera will be the target for Britain’s 4th placed Micky Beckett if he is to win a medal.
In the women’s Kite, Elena Lengwiler SUI won the only race and moves into the lead, just 0.2 ahead of Britain’s Ellie Eldridge with Daniela Moroz USA in third.
In the men’s Formula Kite, one race was completed. Maximilian Maeder SGP and Toni Vodisek SLO are tied in the lead on 11 pts.
Valentin Bontus AUT is third on 12 pts, and Jannis Maus GER and Connor Bainbridge GBR next tied on 21 pts.
In the multihull Nacra 17 Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti ITA retain a 14 pt lead after two more races. Second are Mateo Majdalani / Eugenia Bosco ARG tied on 28 pts with Micah Wilkinson and Erica Dawson NZL.
Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet are fourth with 38 pts and a possible three more races before the medal race to improve their chances of a podium finish.
No racing in the mixed 470 dinghy so places remain unchanged.
They have one more day of fleet racing before their medal race on Wednesday. Britain’s Vita Heathcote and Chris Grube are in 11th place in a very tight group and could move up if there is any wind.
