We spoke to Daniel Fitzgibbon afterwards, "It's been a good week for us guys, a long week but it's been a good week. We've done really well we've sailed well and Rach [Rachael Cox] and I are getting better and better and we're doing well. It's great coming to Weymouth [with two years to go], I'm comfortable in the conditions and we've had a great a result going forward to the Games."
In the Sonar class we've had an intriguing, week long battle involving another British crew, but this time up against a Dutch team; Udo Hessels, Marcel Van de Veen and Mischa Rossen. They took an early lead, which was dragged back to just a single point by John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Stephen Thomas going into the final day. But it wasn't to be for the Brits, who choose a bad day - Friday 13th - to have a bad day, scoring a seventh and sixth. It left the Dutch comfortable winners, with the Israeli team of Dror Cohen, Benny Vexler and Arnon Efrati just a point behind the Brits in bronze.
The 2.4mR class was another week long duel with another Dutch team involved, Thierry Schmitter up against France's Damien Seguin. The pair had traded the lead all week, and it came down to a single point - Seguin winning it in the final race. The Beijing gold Medallist, Paul Tingley from Canada fell just short of the podium in fourth.
