Day 1 of the Princess Sofia Regatta, Mallorca, kicked off Monday with the ILCA, 470 and iQFoil events.
Strong, gusty offshore breezes pumped up to well over 25kts at times to provide a stiff test for the debuting iQFOiL mens and womens foiling windsurfing classes and the mixed 470 dinghy class.
In the new mixed 470 event, Giacomo Ferrari and Bianca Caruso ITA (2, 1) are tied for the lead with Jordi Xammer and Nora Brugman ESP (1, 2). In third place are Nia Jerwood and Conor Nichlas AUS (1, 5).
Best placed British crew are Vita Heathcote and Ryan Orr (7, 6) in 13th place. Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre (22, 9) are in 30th place.
A great start for the Brits in the men’s IQ Foil, filling the first three places after four races.
Sam Sills won three of his four flight races to lead from Finn Hawkins (2, 1, 3) with Andrew Brown (4, 2, 1) in third place. Nicolo Renna ITA (3, 3, 2) leads the chasing pack.
In the women’s IQ Foil, Hélène Noesmoen FRA (2, 2, 1) leads from Pilar Lamadrid ESP (1, 1, 4) with Shachar Reshef ISR (3, 1, 3) and Daniela Peleg ISR (2, 3, 2) tied in third place after four races.
Best of the Brits is Saskia Sills (9, 6, 6) inseventh and Emma Wilson (14, 10, 7) in tenth overall.
Pavlos Kontides CYP took both wins in his Laser flight races to lead from Britain’s Mike Beckettt (2, 1) and Philipp Buhl (1, 2) of France.
Other top ten British places went to Elliot Hanson (5, 3) in seventh and Sam Whaley (9, 1) in tenth overall.
After the first flight races in the women’s Radial, Mária Érdi HUN leads from Maxime Jonker NED and Sarah Douglas CAN.
Britain’s Hannah Snellgrove finished third in her flight and is fifth overall.
Tuesday the 49er, 49erFX, Nacra and Formula Kite classes join the racing.
