Tauranga sailors have taken gold and silver at the 2015 ISAF Sailing World Cup Weymouth regatta overnight.

Gold in the 49er for New Zealand with Tauranga sailor Peter Burling and Blair Tuke further extending an unbeaten run taking gold in the 49er class with teammates Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski sharing the podium for silver.

And silver for 49erFX crew Alexandra Maloney and Tauranga sailor Molly Meech. Both New Zealand's womens' double-handers crews won silver medals, with Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie beaten on count-back in the 470 only by long-time rivals Saskia Clark and Hannah Mills, Great Britain.

In what is one of the NZL Sailing Team's most successful international regattas, the team has won six medals including one gold, four silver and one bronze.

Featuring strongly all week in the Finn standings New Zealand has collected silver and bronze in the class, which will come to New Zealand in November this year to battle out their World Championship title.

Despite a poor start at this regatta, Peter Burling and Blair Tuke went into the 49erclass medal race with an 18 point buffer over teammates Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski.

All went according to plan for Burling and Tuke and after a 6th place on the water they collected the gold, extending their amazing unbeaten run to 17 straight victories at the major events in the class.

'Our first win in Weymouth,” says Peter Burling. "We had a little bit to do, but we had a little bit of a points gap on second so the game plan was to try and stay close to them, and we managed to put together a relatively solid result."

Hansen and Porebski were 7th in the medal race and comfortably secure the silver medal making it 1-2 for New Zealand on the 49er podium. Encouragingly, this is their best result for 2015 to date.

Taking the lead into today's medal race Alexandra Maloney and Molly Meech were out performed by reigning world champions in the women's 49erFX class, Martine Soffiatti Grael and Kahena Kunze. The Brazilian's struck out an early lead and never relinquished it finishing well ahead of the pack.

Maloney and Meech crossed in 9th and have to settle for silver this time.

"We just didn't get the shift right today and we couldn't stay with our competitors which was a bit of a mistake and we just let the Brazilians get away from us,” says Maloney.

"It was a pretty nice week sailing in Weymouth, we got some pretty good races in but we had a disappointing medal race and we can learn lot from it."

The 49er and 49erFX fleets will sail their 2015 European Championship next month in Portugal, building towards August's Aquece Rio International Regatta (Olympic Test Event) and then the 2015 49er World Championship being staged in Buenos Aires, Argentina in November.

Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie enjoyed being back in Weymouth where three years ago they won Olympic gold, in the womens 470. This time they came so close again finishing this regatta on equal points with victors Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark, of Great Britain.

The kiwis were 5th in today's medal race, while the Brits were 4th and drawing equal on points the gold goes to Mills and Clark because they placed higher in today's race.

'It was an interesting day on the water, the British girls Hannah and Saskia pulled off a very well executed race and we didn't quite match them this time. So they won this round and we ended up 2nd overall,' says Aleh.

'It's been a good week of sailing, some great learnings as always. We're ready to tidy up a few more areas of our racing ready for the next regatta which is European Champs in a few weeks.”

Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Willcox sailed well across the first half of the series, but were knocked by some average results on day four and went into the Men's 470 medal race lying 10th. Finishing 5th on the water today didn't change their position and they end the regatta in 10th overall.

Josh Junior put up a good fight for gold in the Finn medal race, the young Wellingtonian giving it everything he could to take victory off the on-form Giles Scott from Great Britain.

Knowing that Junior was in with a reasonable chance needing only to finish two places ahead of him in today's race Scott and Junior ended up towards the back of the fleet and while the kiwi crossed ahead in 9th Scott was right behind him 10th and secured the gold medal.

Junior recently won silver at the Finn European Championships in Split, Croatia and admits that both he and Murdoch have made gains in the class.

"I think we are now getting the gear right and are starting to go really fast. Doc [Murdoch] has been a great sailor for many years and I've sailed pretty well and we are both starting to move towards the front, so hopefully that continues and we can do this more regularly."

Andrew Murdoch sailed home with a 6th in today's medal race coming close to team-mate Junior on points, but not close enough to take silver from him. Murdoch, from Northland's Kerikeri Cruising Club takes the bronze for his first Finn medal at an ISAF Sailing World Cup Regatta.

This November the Finn class will sail the Finn World Cup, their 2015 World Championship here in New Zealand with Takapuna Boating Club set to host the world's best in the Olympic heavy-weight dinghy later this year.

Two New Zealand sailors were in today's Laser medal race; Andy Maloney ended the regatta well with a 2nd place today which sees him end the regatta in 7th place overall.

'After a week of ups and downs, I'm pretty happy to finish on a high with second place in the medal race. It was an extremely tight race which moved me up to finish 7th overall. Not the goal but some real positives to take from the week,” says Maloney.

Tauranga sailor Sam Meech, who broke into the top ten with great results on day four, concluded the regatta in 8th after placing 8th in the medal race. Thomas Saunders ends the regatta in 12th with Michael Bullot close behing in 13th.

In the Laser Radial, Sara Winther ends the regatta in 17th place; Susannah Pyatt in 31st.

Olivia Mackay and Micah Wilkinson conclude their first ISAF Sailing World Cup regatta in the Nacra 17 in 26th place.
