World Champions Nic Asher and Elliot Willis narrowly missed out in Great Britain's first medal opportunity at the Delta Lloyd Regatta, the fifth leg of the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Medemblik, Netherlands.

The duo went into the final medal race for the 470 Men"s event in fourth place on equal points with the third placed French crew. But after a bad start they were unable to claw their way into the bronze medal spot during the three-lap final and had to settle for fourth place overall.

The French pair of Pierre Leboucher-Vincent Garos took gold, with the local Dutch duo of Sven Coster-Kalle Coster in claiming silver and Argentina's Lucas Calabrese-Juan de la Feunte bronze.

Olympic Champion and Hyeres World Cup winner Paul Goodison (pictured)remains the man to beat in the Laser fleet, in spite of a 36th from his first race of the day after getting caught by a large windshift and overstanding the turning mark. Nick Thompson is three points off of the medal positions, currently in fourth so will pushing to make it two British sailors on the podium in the single-handed class tomorrow.

Giles Scott and Ed Wright will fight it out for gold in the Finn class. Just three points separate the team-mates.
