New Zealand has won gold in the 49er and silver in the Laser at the 2016 Sailing World Cup Hyeres.
Peter Burling and Blair Tuke had their medal secure before starting today's race while Sam Meech's silver came after a dramatic tussle.
Consistency through the four days of fleet racing saw Meech in a strong position to medal, lying fourth going into the medal race the Tauranga Yacht & Powerboat Club sailor converted that to a silver medal with a solid third place performance on the water.
"I'm feeling fantastic, really happy with the result. Obviously, it's coming close to our selection so finishing in front of the other Kiwis hopefully helps," Meech said.
