470 - World Championship 2016 - Buenos Aires ARG - Day 3

Yesterday, the 470 fleets had again to wait until late in the afternoon due to lack of sufficient wind. A light breeze filled in finally and the men completed two, the women one race.
Surprisingly, Jim Asenathi/Roger Hudson RSA took the overall lead in the men's category with a race win, followed by Onan Barreiros/Juan Curbelo ESP at equal points. Anton Dahlberg/Fredrik Östling SWE are now 6 points behind on rank 3. On the way up are the defending champions Belcher/Ryan AUS, best of the day with the ranks 3 and 6, advancing on the 4th place overall. The ranks 14 and UFD (U-flag disqualification, i.e. 'light black flag') did not bring Stu McNay/Dave Hughes USA one up on 19th much further. Jacob and Graeme Saunders CAN lost three ranks and are now 33rd.
The only race of the women went in favor of the defending champions Lara Vadlau/Jolanta Ogar AUT. New on top overall are now Camille Lecointre/Hélène Defrance FRA. The Austrians and Afrodite Zegers-Kyranakou/Anne-Loes Van Veen NED at equal points are now 2nd and 3rd. Anne Haeger/Briana Provancha USA with a 7th race rank have now again the upper-hand on Sydney Bolger/Carly Shevitz USA finishing only 19th, their discard result. Overall rank 4 and - 4 points back - rank 5 are now the positions of the US women.
