Dutch Nicholas Heiner has had enough to cross the finish line at position 14 to maintain the fleet's leadership and put five points between him and his main competitor, the British Edward Wright, who is still in second position. For his part, the Swedish Max Salminen has managed to recover the third drawer of the provisional podium thanks to the seventh place in today's race. In the absence of tomorrow's race medal dispute, the medals would be distributed to Heiner, with 42 points, Wright, with 47, and Salminen, with 67.

Tomorrow the Finn class European Championship will say goodbye to the Bay of Cadiz with a double-score, non-disposable, double-score, for the top 10 and a final race for the rest of the fleet. The race committee has decided to advance the exit to the sea at 8: 30 to avoid the sharp wind forecast for tomorrow noon. The award will take place at 4: 00 p.m. at the Centro especializado de Tecnificación Deportiva de Vela de la Bahia de Cadiz, in the Port of Santa María.
