Consistent sailing by Iker Martinez and Xabier Fernandezhave given them a 22 point lead over the fleet with Manu Dyen and StephaneChristidis jumping from 5th yesterday to 2nd overalltoday in the 49er Worlds. TheBritish squad who yesterday held 2nd (Pink/Peacock), 3rd(Morrison/Rhodes) and 4th (Brotherton/Asquith) have now moved to 6th,7th and 8th with teammates Dylan Fletcher and Alain Signhaving a spectacular day leapfrogging from 8th yesterday to 3rdat the end of the day.
Only seven minutes separated the leaders and tail-enders inthe 10-14 knot day. The Race Committee has been stellar despite a postponement at a start due to an unexpected swim by the IRO. All fleets are caught up with 2 races scheduled for thefinal day before the medal race to be held in the afternoon.
