The NZL Sailing Team crews of Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie, and Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are poised for victory at 2014 Princess Sofia Regatta.

Having both built solid points leads in the Women's 470 and 49er events over the first five days of the regatta, a good medal race in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, will secure gold at this well attended European opener.

Another three NZL Sailing Team crews have also made the top ten securing a medal race spot.

Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski are 5th in the 49er, Josh Junior goes into the Finn medal race lying 8th and Alexandra Maloney and Molly Meech are also 8th in the 49erFX.

Leading for most of the week Aleh and Powrie have battled with familiar rivals including Camille Lecointre and Helene Defrance (FRA) and Hannah Mills and Saskia Clarke (GBR), and it is these three crews that make up the top three positions going into the final determining race of the regatta.

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have an even bigger lead in the 49er skiff, 16 points clear of their closest rivals going into the medal race.

Sailing 13 races throughout the five day series leading up to the final medal race, the kiwis have once again been dominant with five wins on their score-card.

They've finished inside the top three in eight of those 13 races.
