In the Men's Gold Fleet, Nathan Wilmot and Malcolm Page hang onto their third place, after finishing sixth.

The team from Israel, Gideon Klinger and Udi Gal move into first place on countback, from current World Champions Nic Asher and Elliot Willis from Great Britain. Wilmot and Page lie a further two points back.

In the Bronze fleet, Mathieu Higgins and Timothy Lynch remain in second place.
