The 49er's raced on the Nothe course today, in front of a big crowd of spectators.

The natural stadium will be used for the medal racing and offers a spectacular vantage point.

New Zealand's Peter Burling and Blair Tuke were the best performed today taking first and second places, bringing them closer to the Gold Medal than the Bronze.

Sail-World's camera was there to record the action
