Finn

It's a British 1-2 in the Finn with Ed Wright and Giles Scott atop of the pile.

Wright is at World #1, counting four 200 point regattas, compared to Scott's three. As a result Scott is 20 points off his compatriot.

Ben Cornish (GBR), Alex Muscat (ESP) and Alican Kaynar (TUR) are the big movers in the Finn. Having qualified for ISAF Sailing World Hyères at Trofeo Princesa Sofia the trio put in a good performance in the French Riviera to move into the top 30. At World #21, #24 and #27 respectively they will receive an invitation to ISAF Sailing World Cup Weymouth and Portland.

49erFX

Martine Grael and Kahena Kunze (BRA) retain World #1 in the 49erFX after picking up silver in Hyères. Gold medallists Ida Marie Nielsen and Marie Olsen (DEN) are at World #3.

There are several ups and downs in the 49erFX but no team has been able to infiltrate the top 30.

49er

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke (NZL) have a perfect ranking score of 800 in the 49er but only count two 200-point regattas under their belt and as a result are at World #5.

Laser Radial

Alison Young (GBR) advanced to World #1 following an eighth in Hyères. Young counts four 200-point regattas to her overall haul. With top ten finishes at each event she has pushed herself up the rankings and into the leading position.

Hyères gold medallist Evi Van Acker (BEL) only counts three 200-point regattas and remains at World #2.

A silver in Hyères catapulted Gintare Scheidt (LTU) from World #81 to World #16.

Paige Railey (USA), Line Flem Host (NOR) and Manami Doi (JPN) enter the top 30 after Hyères.

Women's RS:X

Bryony Shaw (GBR) is back at World #1 in the Women's RS:X after a top ten finish in Hyères. Regatta winner Lilian De Geus (NED) moves up to World #2, a personal best.

Men's RS:X

Byron Kokkalanis (GRE) retains World #1 in the Men's RS:X after a third in Hyères. The Greek racer has finished on the podium at the last four ISAF Sailing World Cup regattas he's competed in which gives him a lead of nearly 200 points over Max Oberemko (RUS).

France's Pierre Le Coq claimed gold in Hyères after a high scoring week of Men's RS:X racing.
