Only the 49er yellow fleet were able to get racing in on the fourth day at the Santander 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships as light, teasing winds played havoc across the seven race courses.

The 470, 49er, 49erFX, Finn, Nacra 17 and RS:X fleets were all scheduled for racing early on in the day with the Laser (silver and bronze fleets) and Laser Radial (silver fleet) penned in later in the afternoon.

The Men's and Women's 470 fleets took to the Santander 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships race course on the third day with testing conditions on the race track.

Meanwhile the Rio 2016 Olympic Laser spots were snapped up and we caught up with a few happy qualifiers who can now focus on World Championship glory.
