Tackling the French navy

Brotherton and Asquith tied on points with the race leader going into Gold fleet racing at the 49er Europeans

The qualification series at the 49er European Championship on Lake Garda ended today with two more races, in 6-7 knots of sea breeze. The fleet waited ashore, until the first start was given after 15.00.

At present Manu Dyen and Stephane Christidis are retaining their lead winning both races in the final qualification leading to the gold series. They are not alone among the powerful French presence with Morgan Lagravviere and Yann Rocherieux occupying third place and Julien d'Ortoli and Noel Delpech in fourth.

However newly reunited British 49er sailors Paul Brotherton and Mark Asquith have been sailing with equal consistency and are now tied on points with the leaders.
