DAY FOUR OF 2024 U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS
09 Jan 2024Winds built to the 30s overnight and presented Race Committee with a challenge for the halfway point at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Sailing.
Race officials chose to sail the Mixed 470s and iQFOiL fleets in Biscayne Bay for more protection and kept the rest of the classes ashore for an early reserve day.
The battle for the top remains tight in the 470 class. Regatta leaders Stu McNay and Lara Dallman-Weiss held onto their lead by two points. Carmen Cowles and David Hughes are in hot pursuit, closing their gap to first by two points up from four yesterday. Louisa Nordstrom and Trevor Bornarth are one point behind Cowles / Hughes and remain tightly in the mix as the week continues.
Top three in 470 Mixed after day four:
1. Stu McNay & Lara Dallman-Weiss (11)
2. Carmen Cowles & David Hughes (13)
3. Louisa Nordstrom & Trevor Bornarth (14)
