Excellent performance of the US Sailing Team winning Gold in the Lasers Standard with Christopher Barnard (Newport Harbour YC) and twice Bronze with Erika Reineke (Lauderdale YC) in the Lasers Radial and Pedro Pascal Suitt USA in the RS:X Windsurfers. --- The USA Laser sailors defended their 1st and 5th places successfully in the Saturday Medal Races. Finishing 6th was good enough for Christopher Barnard (Newport Harbour YC) to stay on the sensational first position in the Lasers Standard. Charlie Buckingham (Newport Harbour YC), rank 5 in the last race, remained on rank 5 with an 8-point backlog on Bronze. --- In the Lasers Radial, Erika Reineke (Lauderdale YC) controlled her immediate opponent Tuula Tenkanen FIN, finishing on the ranks 6 and 7, but it was the Olympic Champion Marit Bouwmeester NED winning the race who jumped on rank 2 overall, relegating Reineke on 3rd. Paige Railey (St-Francis YC) finished on 4th and moved one up on the 6th place overall. --- Unexpected was the excellent 2nd race rank of Pedro Pascal Suitt USA in the RS:X men windsurfers who brought him up as 3rd on the podium. --- The Medal Race day looked set to require at best a wait, at worst …well, have racing cancelled. Winds over 25kts, gusting nearly to 30kts, as well as big seas with breaking waves at the entrance to the Arenal Marina provoked numerous postponements. Finally, the Medal Races could be sailed in the "traditional" boats, while the not-so-sea-worthy "high-performance" classes - 49ers and Nacras - were kept ashore, and the rankings after the Final Series became firm. --- Check out the results of ALL North American participants (CAN, MEX, PUR, USA) here (PDF). --- All ranking lists and the official daily news.

Much action yesterday, the final day of the Trofeo Princesa Sofia, in the Medal Races sailed in a fresh 20 to 25kn wind. The races for the Nacras 17, 49ers and 49ersFX and 49ers were called off due to strong winds and big seas, while the Finns, Lasers, 470s and RS:X classes completed spectacular Medal races. --- The high-performance classes were therefore ranked according to the Final Series fleetraces with Dylan Fletcher/Stuart Bithell GBR on 1st in the 49ers, Martine Grael/Kahena Kunze BRA, back from the Volvo Ocean Race, again on top of the 49ersFX and Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin AUS for once ahed of the Italians in the Nacra 17. --- In the 470 men, Anton Dahlberg/Frederik Bergström SWE were also the clear winners of the Medal Race and celebrated a dominating victory ahead of Xammar/Rodriguez ESP and Patience/Grube GBR. Same situation in the 470 women, where the leading Hannah Mills/Eilidh McIntyre GBR finished on top of the Medal Race as well. Lecointre/Retornaz FRA and Mrak/Macarol SLO completed the podium. --- Andrew Maloney NZL defended his lead in the Finns, but the winner of the day, Giles Scott GBR, reduced the backlog to 2 points only. Josh Junior NZL remained on 3rd. --- In the RS:X men windsurfers, Michael Cheng HKG finished first ahead of Hao Chen CHN. Pedro Pascual Suitt USA moved up on rank 3. In the RS:X women , Yue Tan CHN took the title followed by Hei Man Chan HKG and Laerke Buhl-Hansen DEN. --- In the Lasers Standard, Christopher Barnard USA defended his lead ahead of Eliot Hanson GBR, new on second, winning the Medal Race, with a 2-point backlog on the American. The Olympic medalist Nick Thompson GBR followed on 3rd. In the Lasers Radial, Anne-Marie Rindom DEN repeated her last-year victory ahead of the Olympic Champion Marit Bouwmeester NED new on 2nd, only 2 points back after winning the Medal Race. Erika Reineke USA finished on rank 3 overall. --- All ranking lists and the final report.

Qualified for the Medal Races of today Saturday are: Barnard and Buckingham (Laser Standard), Reineke and Railey (Laser Radial) and Suitt (RS:X Windsurfers). The Final Series of the Trofeo Princesa Sofia were concluded yesterday.

The USA Laser sailors delivered the best performance ever in a top international regatta with Christopher Barnard (Newport Harbour YC) as brilliant leader in the Lasers Standard with a 12-point advantage on rank 2 before the Medal Race. Not far behind follows Charlie Buckingham (Newport Harbour YC) on 5th only 2 points behind the podium.
In the Lasers Radial, Erika Reineke (Lauderdale YC) advanced on rank 2 only 4 points behind the leader and this before the crucial double-point-no-discard Medal Race. Paige Railey (St-Francis YC) is up on rank 7.
Pedro Pascal Suitt USA finished twice on 6th yesterday in the RS:X men windsurfers, and jumped onto the 5th place.

Some other hopefuls did not make it on the final day and terminated the competition yesterday. In the 49ers, Andrew Mollerus/Ian MacDiarmid USA had their worst day (24/15/21) and dropped from 8th to 17th. Paris Henken/Anna Tunnicliffe Tobias USA did not succeed to improve their 11th place in the 49erFX (day ranks 13/16/19) and finished on rank 13 overall. Riley Gibbs/Anna Weis USA starting the day as 12th in the Nacra-17 had all chances to make the cut, finishing 2nd and 3rd yesterday, but a rank 24 downer in the second-last race destroyed all hopes. 12th overall, mere 3 points behind rank 10 is the final outcome. Farrah Hall (St-Francis YC) dropped out of the RS:X women top-10 on Thursday after the second premature start disqualification and terminated the Trofeo on rank 12.

Today Saturday, the Medal Races will be sailed with two US hot contenders for Gold.

Again seven US Sailing Team members in the top-10 (+ 2) of the Trofeo Princesa Sofia after yesterday's races, i.e. in the 49ersFX, the Lasers Standard and Radial and ... surprise ... the RS:X windsurfers, replacing the 49er and Nacra teams.

Both USA Laser Standard helmsmen remained in the top-10. The Goldfleet ranks made the difference yesterday with Christopher Barnard finishing 6 and 6 moving up on the excellent 3rd, and Charlie Buckingham with 32 and 20 leaving him on 8th.
