Sailing at the 2023 Pan American Games – 49er
International sporting event
The 49er competition of the sailing events at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago was held from October 28 to Novembero 3 at the Cofradia Nautica del Pacifico.
Points were assigned based on the finishing position in each race (1 for first, 2 for second, etc.). The points were totaled from the top 11 results of the first 12 races, with lower totals being better. If a team was disqualified or did not complete the race, 9 points were assigned for that race (as there were 8 teams in this competition). The top 5 teams at that point competed in the final race, with placings counting double for final score. The team with the lowest total score won.
Ian Barrow and Hans Henken from the United States won the event. Hernán Umpierre and Fernando Diz from Uruguay were the second, and William Jones and Justin Barnes from Canada won the bronze medal.[1]
