Defending champion, Fredrik Loof of Sweden, opened the 2019 OK Dinghy European Championship with a fifth and a race win to lead the 91 boat fleet in Kiel, Germany.
Race 1 winner, Jan Kurfeld, from Germany, is second with Greg Wilcox, from New Zealand in third. The championship is being held as part of the 125th Kieler Woche.
Best placed British competitors are Chris Turner (6, 47) in 18th and Jamie Harris (22,33) in 21st overall.
Two races were sailed on late on Saturday afternoon with distinctly un-Kiel like conditions, with high temperatures, sunny skies, sparkling water, and light onshore winds.
