Day 2 of the Olympic Classes Sailing Grand Slam Pilot Final, the event is also a live testing ground for new race formats and scoring systems.
Different fleets are trialling different approaches: the men’s ILCA 7 class and the iQFOil class aresailing under a high-points system where only top three finishes score, while the women’s ILCA 6 fleet uses a traditional low-points format.
Leaders are after day 2:
ILCA 7 Men – Michael BECKETT GBR
ILCA 6 WOMEN – Eve MCMAHON IRL
IQFOIL MEN – Johan SØE DEN
In addition, all fleets are racing on the experimental Course X, where both the start and finish are mid-course — an America’s Cup–inspired layout designed to keep the fleet compact and the action visible, with frequent mark-roundings and short, high-intensity legs.
Friday 19 September: final day at Marina Muiderzand, with more races to follow at the city-centre Weerwater lake. Each class winner in Almere will receive €1,500 with titles awarded to the overall Sailing Grand Slam champions
