In a huge boost to their campaign for London 2012 Irish duo Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern won this morning's 49er high performance dinghy medal race at Holland's Delta Lloyd Regatta. The impressive win moves the Irish pair to fifth overall.

Britsh duo Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes won the 49er Class after a very tight medal race.

Before the race Morrison and Rhodes only real competition was the Australian team Outteridge/Jensen. Morisson: “We did not mind that we did not win the medal race. All we had to do was keep close to the Australians. In this wind it was very hard, but we did.”

It wasn’t the first time Morrison and Rhodes won the Delta Lloyd Regatta. ”We won this Regatta in 2008. After that we have not won another regatta. And now we have a medal again. So we like it here”, Morrison says.
