CONSISTENT and steady is winning the race for Britain's Yngling crew of Sarah Ayton, Sarah Webb and Lymington's Pippa Wilson.

The reigning two-time world champions have yet to win a race in the Olympic regatta but maintained their run of fine results by finishing fourth and second to move up to 15 points after six races, three ahead of the Netherlands, who had a first and fifth yesterday.

The trio are on a rest day today and Dorset-based Ayton is looking forward to some time to analyse her team's performance so far.

"You need to have some time to reflect on how you've performed and go and target the areas that you can do better in," said the Weymouth Yngling helm.

"Having a day to sort all of that out is needed and is nice.

"Fundamentally, we do the same every day and the only changes we make are right near the end when we have one race to go.

"But it's all going to plan at the moment.

"We're sailing a low-risk regatta and unless we need to change our game plan, we'll just keep doing that."

  • The British men's 470 crew of Lymington's Nick Rogers and Joe Glanfield were a lowly 19th after a disappointing race one, but improved to fifth in race two to move up to 10th in the overall standings.

Rogers and Glanfield were due out for races three and four in Qingdao this morning.
