Paris Olympic sailing medallists Matt Wearn and Grae Morris have added to their trophy haul, both winning gold at French Olympic Week.
Wearn continued his impressive run in his return from 18 months away from international competition following the Olympic Games, winning the first two Sailing Grand Slams of the season.
Competing in Hyeres in the south of France, the two-time Olympic champion topped the standings in the ILCA7 class which followed windsurfer Morris, who turned his Paris silver to gold in the iQFOiL a day earlier.
Morris's result was especially sweet after the Sydneysider finished runner-up in the event in the past two years.
Laura Harding and Annie Wilmot also stood on the podium, securing silver in the 49erFX, their first medal as a pairing.
"Great to get the back-to-back wins so early in the season and campaign. Palma was nice, but it's great to confirm the progress here in Hyeres," said Perth product Wearn.
"These events were quite close together, so it was always going to be tough to regroup and recover mentally more than anything after such a long time out of the boat. So, I'm happy to get through this one and can recover a bit now."
Harding and Wilmot delivered a standout performance across the back half of the regatta and held their nerve on the final day to secure second place.
"It feels really good to finally put our first podium performance together," Harding said. "We're pretty stoked with the week. It was a tricky regatta, but we're happy we pulled it all together by the end. It's a great lead-in to the Worlds in a couple of weeks."
The results in the Mediterranean reflected growing depth across the team with a series of top 10 performances.
Harry Price and Max Paul backed up their fourth place in Palma with sixth in Hyeres in the 49er, while Ethan McAullay reinforced the strength of the ILCA7 squad with seventh overall. In the Nacra 17.
Brin Liddell and Rhiannan Brown also finished seventh, and Breiana Whitehead secured ninth in the Formula Kite.
Meanwhile, the sailing and Olympic community is mourning the death of Australia's oldest Olympian, Gordon Ingate OAM.
Recently celebrating his 100th birthday, Ingate competed in sailing at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games in the Tempest class, at the age of 46.
He qualified for the Olympics twice previously - for London in 1948 and Helsinki in 1952 - but his work wouldn't grant him time off to compete.
Ingate continued to compete for more than half a century after Munich. He won the Australian Championships Dragon class title four times, the last at the age of 94 as the oldest champion in the sport's history.
