Ireland's three crews have lowered their sights to achieving top 10 results following another mediocre showing in Sydney yesterday. A 10th place yesterday for David Burrows in the 26-strong Finn fleet placed him 11th overall going into today's penultimate day of racing. In the Star keelboat, Mark Mansfield and David O'Brien had a 13th yesterday, leaving them 14th overall out of 16 boats. Maria Coleman, in the Europe class, had a ninth yesterday. She slipped to joint 10th, or 11th place after the countback.
