"We were leading at the top mark but the pressure left and we fell into a hole with nearly no wind. The fleet caught up. In the second race we chose the wrong side, we came back slowly, gaining one boat at a time to place second to Marin Lovrovic and Sinisa Mikulicic (CRO)."

Some of the top teams are back in the circuit. After a long break, Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Dominik Zycki (POL) are back in the international circuit. The Polish are very strong and won the first race. "We like to come and race in the Delta Lloyd Regatta in Medemblik. This year we have decided to take it easy and sail only three events. This is the first one this year and we are still a bit rusty. We have made some small changes to our boat and need to test them before the Star European Championship early June".

The Polish are second overall after taking the first race and placing 5th in the second. "We were leading the first race but collected a penalty and dropped to 5th. We managed to pass two boats and got lucky on the finish when the top two boats crossed the line on the wrong side!"

Friday:
Results changed overnight in the Star class. Andy Horton and James Lyne gained two places and replace Croatians Marin Lovrovic and Sinisa Mikulicic in second position overall. Eight boats were penalised for sailing too close to the 49er course and collected penalty points. While the Norwegians Melleby and Pedersen conserve a ten point lead, only three points separate the next three boats.
