Medals were decided in ten Olympic events on Biscayne Bay under sunny skies and enough wind for good racing. This year’s regatta offered a little bit of everything, including success from former champions, major upsets, and a glimpse into the future of Olympic level one-design sailing.
49erFX
Sarah Steyaert and Julie Bossard (FRA) sailed consistently across three 49erFX theatre style, single point races to win gold.
The French pair had a handsome lead over Giulia Conti and Francesca Clapcich (ITA) in advance of the final but with three races on the agenda, anything was possible.
Steyaert and Bossard had room to sail conservatively and came through with an 8-2-5 score line that ensured that they finished 14 points ahead of Conti and Clapcich.
Standout performers of the day were Frances Peters and Nicola Groves who recorded 2-5-1. The result pushed the Britons up into third, overtaking Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (BRA) who dropped to fourth.
49er
Jonas Warrer and Peter Lang (DEN) came out on top in a testing final day of 49er racing. With three ten minute races in an enclosed theatre anything was possible with a number of score lines possible.
Consistency has been sparse in the 49er fleet throughout the week, reflecting in the high score lines from 12 races and on the final day Warrer and Lang were able to put together steady races to pick up gold.
A 6-4-3 score line put the Danes on 67 points with USA’s Brad Funk and Trevor Burd two points behind on 69 points.
Stevie Morrison and Chris Grube (GBR) rounded off the podium on 70 points.
