The fifth day of racing meant to be a challenging one
Two more races were sailed for each fleet here in Rio de Janeiro. A big day - compared to all other four - for the fleet since the shifty winds didn’t help the race committee to start on time the sequence. Once again the results shuffled, proving the high level of competition.

The Kiwis Joe Leith and Joshua Ferrissey are again in podium position, with the best results on today’s racing, a second and a third place.

The Brazilian crew of Goncalves - Vassel climbed on second after a fourth and a bullet, only 3 points behind with 27. The Greeks Kerkezou - Giannouli are in third, after a DSQ occured by an incident on the water - discarded and a fifth.
Under 17
Tournis - Michalopoulos are still leading the category despite their not so good perfoming day. Padron - Mesa Oliver are stil in second place followed by Rodriguez Pasqual - Montoya Porland.
