Ireland’s sailors made little or no impact around the Saronic Gulf today, as Howth duo Tom Fitzpatrick and Fraser Brown remained 16th overall in the 49er fleet and Sydney veterans Mark Mansfield and Killian Collins tailed off again in the Star, finishing 15th to stay in last place.

With just three more days of action left in the Finn Class, Ireland's David Burrows is in line to better his ninth place finish of four years ago and achieve Ireland’s best Olympic sailing result since 1980.
