The last sailing of the day outside Marseille was cancelled due to too weak winds.

Thus, the score is clear ahead of the final medal race, which will be held on Wednesday, starting at 15.43.

The pair Dahlberg/Karlsson have performed strongly in the capricious bay and are now fourth in the total after all the basic races have been sailed. They are chasing Austria, which leads with 24 points, second-place Spain with 31 points, and third-place Japan with 35. The Swedish pair has 39.

It is therefore a matter of taking as few points as possible in the race, where the winner gets one point, the second gets two, and so on. In the medal race, where only the top ten qualify, double points are awarded. Thus, the total score can change quite drastically.

Emil Järudd and Hanna Jonsson finished ninth in the Nacra 17 catamaran class after twelve basic sailings and are ready for Wednesday's final race, but the Swedish duo is far from the medals.

Sweden has already won a silver medal in sailing from the pair Rebecca Netzler and Vilma Bobeck during the Olympic Games.
