Irish duo Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove have fallen from seventh to 13th in the overall standing after they were disqualified from Races 5 and 6 in the 49er class due to a trapeze harness worn by the crew being overweight.

Regulations state the harness can't weigh more than 2kg with the Irish pair 90g overweight meaning their second and sixth-place finishes on Thursday are wiped out.
