Carl Evans and Peter Burling lead the mens Gold fleet on the first day of Finals racing Event Media

New Zealand's Carl Evans and Peter Burling continue to build a substantial lead in the World 420 Championships being sailed in Gran Canaria. They finished the day with a third, a first and an uncharacteristic 18th place. They lead by 18 points from a second New Zealand crew of Simon Cooke and Scott Illingworth.

However it is too early to put the world championship in the bag. There are six races left to sail and today's result in Race 6 underlines the fact that anything can happen.

In the Womens Gold fleet it has become very tight for the New Zealanders. Best placed are Sarah Bilkey and Rosie Sargisson who are now in tenth overall. However they are only one place and eight points clear of Shelley Hesson and Bianca Barbarich-Backer with Georgina Hill and Michelle Kennedy in 14th place overall.

Hesson and Barbarich-Backer had a couple of good races overnight finishing second and third. They will go on to sail in the Womens 470 event at the pre-pre Olympics in two weeks and this is the first international regatta for this combination.
