29er World Championship 2011 day 5, Mar del Plata, Argentina.

A better story for the final day could not be written.

The top two teams who have dueled back and forth for the top spots during the 2011 29er Worlds are tied even going into the last day. Pepe Bettini and Fernando Gwozdz turned on the heat and made up the 2-point deficit in today’s racing and are now tied with Belen Tavella and Franco Greggi.

With offshore winds, the swell layed down a bit, but were still quite confused, blowing directly into the swell. In the first race of the day, Tavella/Greggi had a bad start and used their 10th as the discard. Bettini/Gwozdz were leading the race, but overstood the layline and capsized loosing the lead to Australians Byron White and Ash Rooklyn who took the win with the top youth team Gael Jaffrezic and Julien Bloyet crossing second. In the second race of the day, Tavella/Greggi won the race to make up the point lost earlier. Bettini/Gwozdz had to settle for fifth.

The wind increased with puffs recorded in the 27-knot range, but this did not stop racing on the gold fleet course. Bettini/Gwozdz came on strong and led the race to the finish while Tavella/Greggi could only manage seventh. Francisco Consentino and Tomas Wagmaister crossed second in this race and now sit third overall with a possibility to unseat the top two. Nahuel Martinez and Axel Vugdelija are fourth overall and had a brilliant day of 3-3-4 and also with a chance for the last day.

On the silver fleet course, conditions were quite tough and the Race Committee decided to send the sailors in after two races. Spaniards Luis Rodenas Lorda and Juan Martinez Ruiz continue to lead.

Racing continues on Friday, January 7 with three more races for the gold fleet and a possibility of four in the silver fleet of the final series.

The prizegiving will be held in the evening following the final races on Saturday, January 8.
