It was another mixed day for Bermuda's elite sailor Malcolm Smith, who finished third and fifth in his sunfish races to leave him lying in sixth position overall.

The ex-world champion and former Pan-Am silver medalist had been tipped for a medal in Rio but will need to pick up his performances before the weekend to fulfill his goal.

Veteran Brett Wright lies in 11th place overall in the laser after finishing twelfth and ninth at the Marina da Gloria yesterday.

While Katrina Williams had a dip in form coming in eleventh and seventh in the laser radial to put her back down the pecking order into sixth position.

Finally Stevie Dickinson and Leatrice Roman finished seventh in the snipe to leave them occupying eighth place in the standings.

Yesterday had been scheduled for a rest day but the sailors were required to take to the seas after insufficient wind had seen several races postponed earlier in the week.

They will once again be in action today.

In yesterday's men's single bowling qualifiers David Maycock finished ninth with a score of 1687.

Patrice Tucker finished 21st in the women's qualifier with a score of 1522 and Bobbie Ingham was 24th scoring 1445.
