The Carlow man sailed out into the final two races for his event needing only to deliver two safe results to maintain or improve on 14th place by nation
Irish sailor Finn Lynch secured Olympic qualification for next year's Paris Olympic regatta following a nerve-wracking conclusion to the Allianz Sailing World Championships.
While he placed 19th in the first race of the day, Lynch was unable to break into the leading group and placed 38th in the last of the ten race series. After crossing the finishing-line, he sailed ashore under the impression that he had missed qualification when he had actually managed to place 15th by nation and 23rd overall.
