New Zealand sailors Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie finished just outside the medals in the hotly contested women's 470 fleet at the Delta Lloyd Regatta in Medemblik, Netherlands this weekend.
The pair's fourth placing topped a New Zealand effort which saw two other top 10 finishes.
Dan Slater took ninthin the Finn class, a placing replicated by Hamish Pepper and Craig Monk in their Star class debut.
The regatta is the fifth of seven Olympic class regattas that make up the new ISAF Sailing World Cup.
Aleh and Powrie, former 420 world champions, are newcomers to the Olympic 470 class. Despite missing out on the podium by just four points, the pair will be encouraged by their performance at this event with consistent race results never finishing outside the top 12 places.
The next event of the ISAF Sailing World Cup is Kieler Woche in Kiel, Germany from June 19-24.
