The early days of the regatta have been about qualifying and fleet racing – sorting out who gets into what. By the time we go live on Friday, the 49er and 49erFX fleets are into the Elimination Series, and every race counts. The Nacra 17s, meanwhile, build towards their Finals on Sunday. It all wraps up on Medal Day with prize giving at 18:00 local, Sunday 17 May.
