Princess Sofia Mallorca by Fergus Hotels defined the finalists

After the dispute of the fifth and penultimate day of the 55 Trophy Princess Sofia Mallorca by Fergus Hotels were defined the ten best teams of each class that will fight for the medals in the late Saturday.

Of the most tight will be the outcome of the 49erFX class. After three more tests, and they go 14, the Spanish Paula Barceló and María Cantero do not leave the first square and retain the point of advantage they already had yesterday over the Canadians Georgia and Antonia Lewin-Lafrance.
The first two crews of the 470 Mixed class make a difference and, after this penultimate day, distance in almost 20 points from the rest of the fleet, but the new format of the test competition in the Mallorcan waters will reduce this advantage to 9 points to maintain the emotion until the last moment. The Spanish Jordi Xammar and Marta Cardona, followed by the British Martin Wrigley and Bettine Harris, the current champions of the world and of Europe, are held for the third consecutive day.

Without haste, but without pause, the British Daisy Collinridge, bronze in Palma last year, came to lack a day to the provisional leadership of ILCA 6. However, the Irish Eve McMahon did not lose mam in her attempt to return to the highest and was placed second. The American Charlotte Rose gave the bell in a fleet of 143 ships and entered her name on the provisional podium in the absence of the final end of tomorrow.
In Nacra 17, the Swedes Emil Järudd and Hanna Jonsson: 3-2-1 were their partials of the day, consolidating their position at the head of the classification. From behind, the general was greatly agitated.

In iQFOiL Women, Polish Anastasiya Valkevich was unable to keep up in today's five sleeves and lost the lead in favour of Israeli Tamar Steinberg. The Italian Marta Maggetti also improved a square and took up the second interim drawer, while the Norwegian Maya Gysler was placed third.
