U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Sailing Day 5

by US Sailing Team 10 Jan 2024 20:10 UTC January 6-13, 2023

It was an early start and early end for day five of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Sailing. 49ers and Men's Kites gathered at Miami Yacht Club for a 0730 competitors briefing in preparation for a 0930 start to take advantage of the best breeze of the day.

The Men's Kiters selected one of the larger of the four kites they registered for Trials in anticipation of a dying northeast breeze and were greeted with 15 knots for the first race of the day. The breeze died off as forecasted and three races were logged on the scoresheets with the top three remaining the same but moving closer together in points. Markus Edegran stayed in first overall, but second place Kai Calder is closing the gap, now only two points behind Edegran. Noah Runciman sits in third, eight points behind Calder but four closer than he was before.

The 49ers were able to eek out one light air race off of South Beach before wrapping for the day. The brother team of Chris and Duncan Williford scored their first race win of the regatta after a light and shifty race with a close finish. Andrew Mollerus and Ian MacDiarmid are tied once again for the lead with Ian Barrows and Hans Henken who are winning the tiebreaker, and Nevin Snow and Mac Agnese are still in the fight in third, inching closer to second.

470s and iQFOiLs stayed ashore for their scheduled reserve day, and all fleets will be back on tomorrow through Saturday, January 13th for the remainder of Trials.

  • 49er - Ian Barrows & Hans Henken (17), Andrew Mollerus & Ian MacDiarmid (17), Nevin Snow & Mac Agnese (24)
