Today, there is one last qualification regatta and the Medal Race on the program. ----- In the 49ers, Erwan Fischer/Clément Péquin FRA can already grasp the World Championship title before the Medal Race. After yesterday's races, they already have a 30-point lead over the second-placed title defenders Bart Lambriex/Floris Van de Werken NED - it would be the first French World Championship victory in the history of the class! 7 points behind the Dutchmen are Diego Botin/Florian Trittel ESP. Sébastien Schneiter/Arno De Planta SUI are now 7th, 27 points behind a medal. Joshua Richner/Nilo Schärer SUI follow in 47th place in the Silverfleet. ----- The 49ersFX also seem to have been decided: The title defenders Odile Van Aanholt/Anette Duetz NED lead by 25 points ahead of Vilma Bobeck/Rebecca Netzler SWE. The Swedes dominated the day with two races wins, but had to accept their discard result in the last race after capsizing. Ranks 3-6 are only 7 points apart. ----- The daily report and the rankings.
