49er Worlds – Day 5

Day 5 of the 49er and 49erFX World Championships in Lanzarote featured challenging conditions with stronger winds and waves. French sailors Fischer and Pequin secured consistent finishes, keeping a big lead between them and the Dutch in second place.

In a consistently surprising performance, British sailors Grummett and Hawes entered the Gold Fleet for the first time as a team and secured a race win which puts them in 4th overall.

Reigning World Champions, the Swedish pair Bobeck and Netzler faced a setback when Netzler was swept overboard by a wave, impacting their overall standing.
