Carl Evans and Peter Burling retained their position today to conclude the 470 World Championships in 11th place in a fleet of 94 boats.

Fellow kiwis Geoff Woolley and Mark Overington managed to climb one place after racing today in Melbourne and finished 13th.

Just one race was sailed today in Melbourne in light conditions to decide the titles and the final placings. After missing out on the top ten medal race by just one point the goal today for Evans and Burling was to race well and retain their position. Finishing 10th in today’s race was enough for them to do just that.

Meanwhile for Woolley and Overington, who were in 14th place going into today, a good race could improve their position. After a great on-water come back they crossed the line in 4th place and moved up to finish 13th overall.
