Paul Goodison topped the British rankings at the Spa Olympic classes regatta in Medemblik, the Netherlands, to finish fourth in a Laser Class won by the current gold medallist and world champion Robert Scheidt of Brazil. As Glyn Charles and Mark Covell finished sixth in the Star class, Ian Barker and Tim Hancock won both their final races to squeeze into the top ten of the 49ers. In the women's 470s, Bethan Raggatt and Sarah Webb were eighth, but Shirley Robertson was a disappointing 11th in the Europe singlehander.
