The stakes have been described as high by the competitors competing in Great Britain and rightly so with internal Rio qualification battles on-going, ISAF Sailing World Cup honours, a share of the prize fund and Abu Dhabi Final spots up for grab.

Racing commenced at 11:00 local time and wrapped up early evening with the ten Olympic, three Paralympic and Kiteboarding events completing their race schedule.

It was like London 2012 repeated in the Women's 470 with the gold and silver medallists occupying the spots they claimed three years ago.
 
Gold medallists Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie (NZL) dominated the day by taking both bullets, whilst London 2012 silver medallists Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark (GBR) were forced to look at the back of the Kiwi boat in both races as they settled for two seconds.
 
Tina Mrak and Veronika Macarol (SLO) sit in third after the opening two races following a 4-3.
 
In the Men's 470, Stu McNay and David Hughes (USA) have a tasty six point lead over World #1 Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis (GRE). A fourth and a second gives them the lead at the early stage but with their experience, they won't be getting carried away.
 
Victories on the day went to the Greeks and Ferdinand Gerz and Oliver Szymanski (GER) who are sixth overall.
