Irish Sailor of the Year Eve McMahon of Howth Yacht Club lies in 27th place in the ILCA 6 class going into the final round of Mallorca’s showcase 52nd Trofeo Princesa Sofia thanks to a 21st, 14th and ninth for the day.
The local Embat sea breeze came in on cue at 12-13kts allowing Mallorca’s showcase 52 Trofeo Princesa Sofia to complete the qualifying series for all classes, and tomorrow’s Finals to be contested on schedule to decide who will compete in Saturday’s titles decider.
The ILCA 6 leader is USA’s Charlotte Rose, with three times Olympic medallist Marit Bouwmeester of the Netherlands poised in third. Denmark’s Tokyo gold medallist Anne-Marie Rindom, winner here in 2019 ahead of Bouwmeester, goes into the Finals in 15th place.
“The first race I didn’t manage to where I wanted to and it cost me but the second race was better and I nailed it. We dream about the conditions we had today, 15kts and full hiking. And the fleet is tougher than ever with a lot new younger girls coming up.” reported the Danish sailor.
The Finals Series for the dinghy classes run Friday with all of the medal deciding races due on Saturday.
