Sunday were more challaging as only 1 race was secured in southesterly winds 4-9 knots. The sailors waited for wind, but were sent in as the it would’nt fill in. Once again Spone (Norway) showed the way as they won the race folllowed by Henrik & Henriette (Denmark) on 2 nd and Jonatan & Felix (Denmark) on 3 rd. The top 5 were the same.

Monday showed to be even more challaging as the sailors had to wait for allmost 3 hours for the wind to fill in. When it came, it was very ligt and puffy with 4-8 knots. In the first race Henrik & Henriette (Denmark) took the gun on a shotened cource, followed by Jostein &

Karen (Norway) on 2 nd and Anette & Janett (Norway) on 3 rd. In the last race there were serveral led changes as the wind died, but in the end it was Yannick & Dirk (Belgium) on top, folowed by Spone (Norway) on 2 nd and Jonatan & Felix (Denmark) on 3 rd – Felix is Jonatans 8 year old son – Great sailing by father and son.
