Charlotte Rose capped the Elimination Series on Friday with a commanding performance that sees her heading into Saturday's Final Series with a substantial advantage over her rivals in the ILCA 6 Women's World Championship.

Rose's consistent showing throughout the qualifying rounds has positioned her as the favourite to claim the world title, with her five-point cushion providing a comfortable buffer as sailors prepare for the decisive medal races on Dublin Bay.

Meanwhile, McMahon has secured a spot in the Finals after squeezing through the qualifying format, setting up a competitive showdown among the world's elite women sailors in the single-handed dinghy class.

The Final Series begins Saturday with races determining the ultimate championship standings. Rose's dominant qualifying performance suggests she has found the speed and tactical awareness needed to maintain her edge against a field of international competitors vying for world championship honours.

The ILCA 6 class, part of the International Laser Class Association's women's racing programme, attracts top female sailors from across the globe. The Dublin Bay venue has provided challenging conditions throughout the qualifying rounds, testing competitors' skills ahead of the climactic finale.
