A strong and steady wind of 14-20 knots blew today, allowing three races to be added to scores on a fantastic fifth day of sailing at the 2021 420 World Championships in Italy. The Women's and Under 17 Championships have reached now 10 races in total, while the Gold and Silver Men/Mixed fleets count 9.
We're ready now to face the final races tomorrow, deciding our new 2021 420 World champions!
It was a bad day for the overnight Under 17 leaders Jaime Ayarza / Mariano Hernandez ESP, scoring a 3-50-30 which has displaced them from the lead for the first time in the event, now in 4th overall (3rd Men) with 71 points.
