Consistent scores across a series of races often makes the difference between a top five finish and a top 20 finish.

Even though Jordi Xammar and Joan Herp (ESP) are eighth overall after three races in the Men's 470, their score card is the most impressive in the fleet. Two sixths and a seventh ensures they are the only team to have a card of three results in the top ten.

They are only six points off leaders Sofian Bouvet and Jeremie Mion (FRA) with five fleet races and Sunday's live Medal Race to follow. "We were laughing, paddling along,” joked Xammar when asked what he and Herp were doing differently, "Nothing special really.

"We were trying to have good starts, make it easy for ourselves and not take big risks. We were also a bit lucky and on days like this you need a bit of luck.”

The Spaniards are two of the most vibrant characters around. From scaling the walls of the Santander spectator lagoon to greet their supporters at the Worlds in 2014, to crossing the finishing line at rain filled Junior European Championships holding up an umbrella. They know how to have fun. They also know how to be competitive athletes and will head to Rio 2016 this summer.

Sofian Bouvet and Jeremie Mion (FRA) hold top spot in the Men's 470 with Matthias Schmid and Florian Reichstadter (AUT) and Mat Belcher and Will Ryan (AUS) following.

In the Women's division there is a three-way tie. Switzerland's Linda Fahrni and Maja Siegenthaler and the British teams of Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark and Sophie Weguelin and Eilidh McIntyre are all locked on four points.
