Brits lead both fleets in Laredo

Good sailing conditions for 29er Worlds and 49er Europeans

There was much relief at the 29er World Championships and 49er European Championships at Real Club Nautico de Laredo. A spectacular day of sailing and racing finally completed the qualification series. In the 49er the finals will begin with Chris Draper and Simon Hiscocks leading.

In the 29er the top 25 boats in the Gold fleet consist of 16 GBR, 5 ARG, 1 DEN, 1 FIN, 1 ESP and I ITA.

Leaders going into the finals are Dave Edwards and Rick Peacock, with Tom Smedley and Stevie Wilson second. Argentinean champions Pepe Bettini and Federico Vilambrossa are 3rd. Light wind flyers Tristen Jaques and Alan Sign did well to hang on in the 20 knot breeze and only drop to fourth.
