In the FX, Alex Maloney/Molly Meech hold a solid lead over Tess Lloyd/Jamie Ryan (Australia), with just 1 point back to Austrians Tanja Franck and Lorena Abicht.
The 49er crews have got it all to play for, with Logan Dunning-Beck/Oscar Gunn leading on count back from Melbourne brothers Will & Sam Phillips. But several boats are all within striking distance, led by Peter Burling/Blair Tuke in 3rd spot, they are already dropping a UFD so need some top finishes. Issac McHardie/William McKenzie are 2 points back, and another point to Markus Sommerville/Jack Simpson who were finding better form today.
