Day 4 - Sailing World Cup Qingdao 2016 Richard Aspland / World Sailing
There are places in the Medal Race at stake on day four of the Sailing World Cup Qingdao, and it's another hot and humid one.

The forecast shows temperatures in the mid-twenties in China as sailors bid to make the final day of racing. The humidity however is taking that number up a notch on shore as the heat is kicking in.

Out on the water there is yet again the strong Qingdao current competitors have come to expect and a 10 knot breeze forecast, gusting up to around 12.

By the end racing we will have the top ten going forward to compete in the day five Medal Races.
