The Dutchman got another 'bullet' - Sailing terminology for a victory - to emphasise his dominance so far in the event.

However, Van Rijsselberge was undone in the day's final race, finishing third as Nick Dempsey of Great Britain secured a photo-finish victory over Greece's Byron Kokalanis.

Meanwhile, Australia's Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen continued to lead the way in the 49er after another good day on the water, as they finished with a second and a first today.
