Weymouth and Portland International Regatta - Weymouth and Portland, Great Britain

It was another windy day in Weymouth with the wind blowing 20 knots and gusts recorded at 25 knots. On the Nothe Course, where the 49ers and Women’s Match Racers sailed one gust was recorded at 30 knots so it was a big wind day for all the sailors.

In the Women’s Match Racing Olivia Price (AUS) defeated Lucy Macgregor (GBR) 3-2 to advance to the fifth/sixth place playoff. Mandy Mulder (NED) also advanced after beating Anna Kjellberg (SWE) 3-0.

Only one flight was possible at the end of the day and Price defeated Mulder to lead 1-0 and Macgregor beat Kjellberg. The sail offs are expected to continue on Wednesday but if they do not then Price will finish fifth, Mulder sixth, Macgregor seventh and Kjellberg eighth.

Tomorrow sees the Women’s Match Racing Semi Finals as well as the Petit Final. The RS:X racing continues and the Laser, Laser Radial and Men’s and Women’s 470 sailors hit the water again for their seventh and eighth races.
