ISAF World Cup Finals in Abu Dhabi – in pictures

Just like Formula One’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there are double points on offer on Sunday, the final day of the ISAF Sailing World Cup Finals, when the medals will be handed out.

But the action was in full swing this past weekend as sailors from 10 different classes competed on the Corniche in Abu Dhabi.

The Australian pair Mathew Belcher and William Ryan lead in the 470 Men Class while compatriot Tom Burton has set the pace with three wins from six races in the Men’s Laser.

Billy Besson and Marie Riou of France have so far dominated the Nacra 17 Class while Byrony Shaw of Great Britain maintains her lead in the RS: X Women’s Class at the end of day three at the Breakwater in the Corniche.

Burton (11 points) has a new challenger, his younger training partner Matt Wearn (20) who moved up four places to second with an Australian one-two on the cards.
