Charlotte Dobson, “Today was a great day. It was a little bit windier and we felt like we had some good pace. It was about being as consistent as possible, went super low risk and let our pace do the talking.”
The one black mark for the Brits was the final race of the day for Dylan Fletcher and Stuart Bithell in the men’s 49er . . . where a tough day was completed with a protest and DSQ, dropping them down to eighth overall.
Burling and Tuke (1,3,1) were back to their best to take over the 49er lead from Ben Bildstein and David Hussl (3,2,2) of Austria.
