Day 1 of the 2020 Forward WIP 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 European Championship on Lake Attersee, Austria.
Not a stunning start for the British Nacra 17 World Champions, John Gimson and Anna Burnet (7,10,12) who finished the day down in ninth place after three races.
Sweden’s Emil Jarudd and Cecilia Jonsson (2,1,7) take a four point lead ahead of Argentina’s Rio Gold medallists Santiago Lange and Cecilia (9,3,2) Carranza.
In third place are Vittorio Bissaro and Maelle Fraascari (1,6,8) of Italy. Sinem Kurtbay and Janne Jarvinen of Finland won the final race of the day, to sit in eighth place.
In the men’s 49er and women’s 49erFX fleets they were split in two flights, both completing three races.
49erFX Kiel Week winners Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke (5,1,1) take the lead, three points ahead of Helene Naess and Marie Ronningen (1,8,1) of Norway, with in third place Klara Wester and Rebecca Netzler (6,2,2) of Sweden.
The only British women who made it to Austria are Megan Brickwood and Stephanie Orton, who made a good start with a 5, 9, 8 score line and are tenth in a group of four crews tied on 22 points.
In the men’s 49er things are very tight, with Sime and Mihovil Fantela (11,1,3) of Croatia just one point clear of Germany’s Tim Fischer and Fabian Graf (1,9,6) with third Bart Labbriex and Pim van Vugt (4,2,12) of Holland.
The top ten in the 49er are covered by just seven points.
Austria’s Benjamin Bildstein was joined by coach NIvan Bulaja, when crew David Hussl was unable to sail due to a gastrointestinal infection, they still managed to finish in tenth overall.
