49er (men’s and women’s high-performance double-handed dinghy) Women’s FX Italy’s Jana Germani & Giorgia Bertuzzi are the early leaders after winning both their races, but in the other fleet the Dutch world champions, Odile van Aanholt & Annette Duetz had a strong day finishing second in both their races. The conditions were a huge test even for those most familiar with them, such as France’s Lara Granier & Amélie Riou. “Difficult day today, the wind picked up and we didn't manage to finish the second race - we tasted the water temperature a little too much,” Riou said. “It is the law of our sport to sail in these conditions. The 49er is a boat that is not very forgiving of mistakes and the penalty arrives fast.”
