Race 2 and Race 3 took place today in wonderful Garda conditions. Sunny again, with a wind strength around 10 knots throughout both races.

On Alpha course, further South down the lake, the wind came in first and racing started with the ladies fleet. Both races ware closely contested, but the USA team of Amanda Clark/Sarah Mergenthaler (1736) started well, going right into an early lead, and taking the bullet for both races, putting them in overall lead in the Regatta. They were followed in Race 2 by Emanuelle Rol/Anne-Sophie Thilo (SUI 12) and Niki Kornecki/Vered Bouskila (ISR 10), and, in Race 3 by Ai Kondo/Naoko Kamata (JPN 4151) in second and Rol/Thilo third.

On Bravo course, there were two clean starts for both Yellow and Blue fleets.

The Red fleet, following the ladies on Alpha course were also well behaved at the start. A day of mixed fortunes in the male/mixed fleets, with Pierre Leboucher/Pierre Garos (FRA 44) the most consistent with a 2,1 in their fleet. Other fleet races were won, in Race 2, by Janvier Conte/Juan de la Fuente (ARG 70), Mikhail and Maxim Sheremetyev (RUS 2), and Ryunosuke Harada/Yoshida Yuugo (JPN 4293).

In Race 3 for the Yellow fleet, the New Zealand boat (212), sailed by Carl Evans/Peter Burling, had a good start, keeping left/middle to arrive fifth at the windward mark. A great run saw them first at the first leeward mark, a lead that they held until the end, closely followed by Cheul Yoon/Hyeongtae Kim (KOR 96) and Martin Hauptmann/Timo Corrosch (GER 17) in third.

A start of 0800hrs is planned for tomorrows racing, so the Italian and Netherland boats will have to take care when watching their football teams compete in Euro 2008!

Day 1 summary:

After two days of torrential rain, the first race of the 2008 Open 470 European Championships look set to start this afternoon in classic Riva conditions.

The 119 boats, 86 male and mixed, 33 female, from five continents and representing 32 countries, are split into three seeded male and mixed fleets, and one female fleet, sailing on two separate courses.

Race 1 began in bright sunshine and wind at around eight knots. On Alpha fleet the female sailors had a fairly processional race, with little place changing from the start. Sylvia Vogl/Corolina Flatscher (AUT 431) sailed extremely well from the start, taking the race, followed by Annina Wagner/Marlene Steinherr (GER 4980), with Henrietta Koch/Lene Sommer (DEN 143) in third.

The red fleet, joining the ladies on alpha fleet, saw more place changing as it became clear that the Eastern cliffs were paying. The race was finally taken by Sven Coster/Kalle Koster (NED 1) followed by Mikhail and Maxim Sheremetyev (RUS 2) and, close in third, perhaps the furthest travelled Fabio Pillar/Samuel Albrecht (BRA 187).

Meanwhile, on Brava course, the Blue and Yellow male fleets were doing battle. The Yellow Fleet went off first and immediately split 50/50 right and left. It became clear, to those in the yellow fleet, and the following blue fleet that there was better pressure on the left side, again towards the Eastern cliffs.

A left handed shift arrived when the blue fleet were half way up their first beat, staying there and adding advantage. The boats taking best advantage of the conditions included, in the yellow fleet, the final winners, Segei Desukevich/Pavel Logunov (BLR 5), who were followed by Bart Peeters/Olivier Bakker (NED 8) and Alexander Goltz/Mathias Gruning (GER 4943) in third. In the blue fleet, the race was taken by Steven LeFevre/Steven Krol (NED 77), with Javier Conte/Juan de la Fuenta (ARG 70) second, closely followed by Luke Patience/Chris Grube (GBR 834).

With wind dying towards the end of the race, the PRO held the boats for a while, hoping for increased pressure, but, when it did not arrive, all boats were sent home for the day.
