Sailing in another variable 6-12 knot easterly breeze was what the 374 sailors from 60 nations had to contend with, but it clearly suited the American teams.

ALL EVENT INFORMATION

420 GIRLS
Twin sisters Carmen and Emma Cowles (USA) continued their fine form in the Girl's 420, picking up another pair of seconds.

They are 12 points clear of Violette Dorange and Camille Orion (FRA), who finished third and first in both races on Thursday. The Americans have a disqualification, which they currently discard, hanging over their heads so they will have to tread carefully on the final day to ensure there are no slip ups. However, they will feel confident as the French also have a discarded disqualification.

Arianna Passamonti and Giulia Fava (ITA) and Linoy Korn and Yael Steigman (ISR), who are separated by three points, will fight for the final podium spot on Friday.

A cracking performance from Croatia's Antonia Kustera and Maris Basic in race 7 gave the pair the race win, in a massive escalation in race strategy.
