49erFX Worlds Day 3 – Bobeck and Netzler of Sweden are new leaders – Sailweb
Vilma Bobeck and Rebecca Netzler from Sweden take the lead after day 3 49erFX 2022 Women’s World Championship.
Not a good day for the leading group but Bobeck and Netzler (5, 31, 19) did enough to take the lead after 9 races with 45 points.
Overnight leaders, Holland’s Odile van Aanholt and Annette Duetz (9, 29, 25) drop second with 48 points and Támara Echegoyen and Paula Barcelo (13, 16, 6) of Spain remain in third place with 52 points.
New Zealand’s Alexandra Maloney and Olivia Hobbs (6, 8, 7) had a good day, moving into fourth place with 64 points, and Britain’s Freya Black and Saskia Tidey (10, 3, 5) also continued their progress, now fifth on 69 points.
Not so good for Megan Brickwood and Stephanie Orton (14, 33, 24) who ended the day in 19th place.
But it was good enough to ensure the two GBR teams ended up in the gold fleet for the finals series.
