The fourth day at the 2021 420 World Championships delivered nice medium winds of around 10-15 knots for all the 420 sailors to enjoy a fantastic three races.

This way the Qualifying series concluded with seven races for the Women and Under 17 fleets, and six for the Men/Mixed. The last two days will be for the Finals, where we'll know who to crown our 2021 420 World champions!

The Women's and U17 are single fleets but the Men/Mixed will be split from tomorrow in to Gold and Silver fleets.

Only 1 point behind are Aviv Assraf / Yam Bilia ISR in fourth.
