49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17 - Olympic Qualifier Europe - Lanzarote ESP - Day 5

The ranks 14/16/6 in the 49ersFX yesterday were not good enough for Stephanie Roble/Margaret Shea (KR/LBYC/CYC) to remain on the podium, but with rank 6 overall, a 15 point backlog on rank 3, and up to 3 qualification races planned this morning UTC, their chances are intact to come back in the Medal Race scheduled for 12h.
