The defending champions were in formidable form, despite the difficult condidtions, and are currently top of the leaderboard, three points ahead of Mark and Anderson Brunsvold of the United States.

Shaun Connor and Sophie Renouf of Australia are third.

“The wind was strong and we have good skills in these conditions so we were very happy to go out on the water this afternoon,” Flament said.

“We won all the races so it was perfect.”

New Zealand's Jackson Keon and Nick Egnot Johnson also performed superbly, sealing three wins out of four in the boy’s 29er.

The duo, who monopolised yesterday’s action with a hat-trick of victories, lead the fleet with 22 points in front of Norwegian brothers Tomas and Mads Mathisen, seven adrift on 29 points.

Spain's Carla and Marta Munte Carrasco picked up a first, a second and a third to surge to the summit in the girl’s 29er.

The Carrasco sisters hold a slender one-point advantage over closest rivals, Finland's Sirre Kronlof and Veera Hokka, though they will remain wary of the retirement on their record which could come into play later on.

In the boy’s Laser Radial, Australian champion Alistair Young was not able to replicate his dominant display yesterday, where he picked up two victories, as he had to settle for a discarded fifth and a second place result.

Young still remains the one to beat in the category as he heads the overall standings on nine points, with Finland’s Oskari Muhonen, who claimed victory in the opening race of the day, his closest challenger with 18.

Hungary's Maria Erdi is the new leader in the girl’s Laser Radial after she shrugged off the difficulty of racing in varying winds to secure first and second place finishes from the day’s two races.

Erdi now has 12 points after discarding her earlier sixth place result.

American pair Will Logue and Bram Brakman held on to their advantage at the top of the boy’s 420 class, despite beginning the day by coming home sixth, which they then opted to discard before finishing strongly, coming second behind Leonardo Lombardi and Rodrigo Luz of Brazil in race two.

The Brazilian duo were the top performers in the discipline as they reigned supreme in both races to climb to third on the leaderboard behind Australia's Alec Brodie and Xavier Winston Smith.

Nia Jerwood and Lisa Smith, also of Australia, remain the leaders in the girl’s 420 thanks to recording victory in race one.

The pair, forced to discard their result from the second race, where they languished down in 12th, occupy pole position ahead of Poland's Julia Szmit and Hanna Dzik.

In the boy’s RS:X, Titouan Le Bosq of France endured a mixed day but kept his position as the fleet leader as he won the first race before recording a fourth place result and a discarded 16th.

Le Bosq sits at the summit on 22 points, with Argentina’s Francisco Saubidet eight points behind in second place.

The girl’s RS:X also provided thrilling action as four points separate the top three, led by Russia's Stefania Elfutina on 15 points.

China's Xian Ting Huang is hot on the heels of the Russian, one adrift in second, with Britain’s Emma Wilson third on 19 points.
