U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Sailing Day 6

by US Sailing Team 12 Jan 2024 13:09 AEDT January 6-13, 2023

The full slate of five classes hit the waters off of Miami's South Beach for day six of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Sailing. It was another gray day, with very little sun but a decent amount of wind, with both race areas reading 12-15 knots and a mild sea state throughout the afternoon.

Ian Barrows and Hans Henken broke their tie today with Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid in the 49er fleet and pulled ahead by one point. Third place Nevin Snow and Mac Agnese continued to close their gap and are now only three points out from second place.

Dominique Stater and Bryn Muller traded first and second place finishes throughout the day, with Stater remaining on top of the women's iQFOiL fleet by three points.

The 49er and Women's iQFOiL are the two classes at these Olympic Trials that have already achieved country qualification for the US and secured the first of the two-part process for athletes to get to Paris 2024*- so the winner of each respective fleet will punch their ticket to Paris on Saturday.

In the Men's iQFOiL fleet, Geronimo Nores and Noah Lyons moved from a point of separation to yet another tie for the second time this week. Nores is currently winning the tiebreaker and sits in first overall heading into the final two days of Trials.

Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss are still in the lead of the 470 fleet, separated by four points from the second and third place tie of Carmen Cowles and David Hughes in second and Louisa Nordstrom and Trevor Bornarth in third. McNay and Dallman-Weiss have kept their lead the entire regatta but remain on high alert with competition hot on their heels.

Markus Edegran at 24 points is leading in the Men's Kite fleet for the third day in a row with former leaders Kai Calder and Noah Runciman behind with 27 points and 35 points, respectively.

Top three in each class after day six:

  • 49er - Ian Barrows & Hans Henken (22), Andrew Mollerus & Ian MacDiarmid (23), Nevin Snow & Mac Agnese (26)
  • Men's iQFOiL - Noah Lyons (24), Geronimo Nores (24), Alex Temko (45)
  • Men's Kite - Markus Edegran (24), Kai Calder (27), Noah Runciman (35)
  • Mixed 470 - Stu McNay & Lara Dallman-Weiss (14), Carmen Cowles & David Hughes (18), Louisa Nordstrom & Trevor Bornarth (18)
  • Women's iQFOiL - Dominique Stater (22), Bryn Muller (25), Anna Weis (39)
