Ireland moved a step closer to securing a place at the Tokyo Olympics as the 49er Spring Championship in Lanzarote reaches its closing stages.

Olympic hopefuls Robert Dickson (Howth Yacht Club) and Sean Waddilove (Skerries Sailing Club) again held on to their third overall place in the Gold fleet today despite sailing three more conservative races.
