Day 2 of the 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 European Championships in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Three races were completed for the Nacra 17 and the 49erFX, but no racing was possible for the 49er in the continuing light wind conditionds.
It was a good day for Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet (2, 1, 2) who move into an 11pt lead in the Nacra17.
Sofia Giunchiglia and Giulia Schio (8, 9, 9) of Italy slip to second, with Laura Farese and Matthäus Zochling (25, 13, 3) of Austria in third.
Britain’s Freya Black and Saskia Tidey posted back-to-back wins and a dicarded 28th in the 49erFX, to move into third overall, just four points off the leaders, Poland’s Alexendra Melzacka and Sandra Jankowiak (2, 18, 6).
Melzacka and Jankowiak now have a two point advantage over Marla Bergmann and Hanna Wille ( 4, 3, 5) of Germany.
Eleanor Keers and Jessica Jobson GBR (6, 10,7) are 10th.
The wind was fading out in the third FX/Nacra 17 race of the day, and by the time the 49er got to the course, it did not improve. After a couple hours of waiting, the day was canceled without any more racing for the men.
Keanu Prettner and Jakob Flachberger of Austria have a 7 point lead after three races on day 1. Best placed of the Brits are William Pank and Thommie Grit in 21st.
