ROBERT DICKSON and Seán Waddilove remain second overall in the Men’s Skiff but there is a new leader in Spain.
In difficult wind conditions, the Irish crew came fourth in race seven, 13th in race eight and nine in race nine.
Spain have moved to the top of the Olympic leaderboard, swapping places with New Zealand who have dropped to third.
Dickson said: “It was very tricky conditions so we’re happy to get away with the results we did.
“The wind was off the mountain coming from the left and the right and is very unpredictable and really wavy and gusty we’re happy with how we managed it.
“I think on a day like that you just need to remember that everyone’s going to have – apart from the Spanish – ups and downs.
“You just have to be able to stay cool, and even if the race isn’t go on your way – you just need to keep looking and see what you can do next.”
