49er, 49erFX - European Championship 2016 - Barcelona ESP - Day 4

The Qualification Series to split the fleet in Gold and Silver Groups ended yesterday for the first time in a fresher wind.
Winning two more races, Peter Burling/Blair Tuke NZL extended their lead in the 49ers on 24 points already, and nobody doubts, that they will grasp another title in Barcelona. The Olympic Champions 2012 Nathan Outteridge/Ian Jensen AUS moved up on rank 2, followed at equal points by John Pink/Stuart Bithell GBR. Delle-Karth/Resch AUT descended on the 4th place. Bildstein/Hussl AUT are on rank 5. With the ranks 24 and 5, Ryan/Henken USA just made the Goldfleet as 24th. Barrows/Morris (11/25) continue as 32nd the Championship in the Silverfleet.
In the 49ersFX, the rough conditions caused numerous capsizes, and there was hardly a team that remained without incidents. The previous leaders Bekkerink/Duetz NED had even to leave out both races of the day. New on top are now the World Champions Giulia Conti/Francesca Clapcich ITA, just one point ahead of Victoria Travascio/Maria-Sol Brand ARG. Tamara Echegoyen/Berta Betanzos ESP follow on the 3rd position. Henken/Scutt USA are 15th, Rafuse/Boyd CAN 24th.
