Flying start for Britain’s Martin Wrigley and Eilidh McIntyre, winning their first race on the opening day of racing at the 470 Mixed European Championship.
A fourth in race 2 and then a tenth in race 3 gave them a total of 5 pts after discard and fourth place overall.
It was also with a good start for Vita and William Heathcote, taking second behind Wrigley and McIntyre in their first flight race, then a 13 (discard) and a fifth place put them in ninth overall with 7 pts.
Overall leaders are Jordi Xammer and Nora Brugman of Spain ( 1, -2, 1) on 2 pts.
Second are Silvia Mas Depares and Nicolás Rodriguez (-4, 2, 1) tied on 3 pts with Sweden’s Anton Dahlberg and Lovisa Karlsson (2, 1, -5) .
In what is looking like a low scoring event, the top ten teams are covered by just five points after three races.
Wednesday the competitors can expect two more qualifying races in the big northerly breeze of Cesme, Turkey.
