Day four on the North Sea brought a mixed bag to the Sailing World Championships, as the breeze dropped off and the current picked up. Women's iQFOiLs, 470s, and ILCA 7s struggled to get races off, Nacras found a lucky window with enough breeze to foil for all three races on the first day of gold fleet racing, and the skiffs watched it all happen from shore on their rest day.

  • Racing today: ILCA 6 & 7, 470, Nacra 17, M/W iQFOiL, M/W Kite, 2.4m, and RS Venture
  • Off today: 49er, 49er FX, M/W Hansa 303
Men's and women's kites and iQFOiLs started their regattas today, and USST's Daniela Moroz quickly logged two race wins of three. In the ILCA 6 fleet, Erika Reineke (USST) added two more top-10 results to her scoreline, putting her in 5th overall after two days. Geronimo Nores finished his day with a race win in the men's iQFOiL fleet, and Kai Calder (USST) scored all top-10 finishes in the opening four races of the men's Formula Kite fleet. USST's Sarah Newberry Moore and David Liebenberg in the Nacra 17 fleet moved up six places on the leaderboard from 24th to 18th in the first day of gold fleet racing.

Dying conditions led to an incomplete schedule for Women's iQFOiLs, 470s, and ILCA 7s, but the breeze outlook for day five ahead looks more promising.
