Four races were sailed by the 76 teams yesterday in a well established medium breeze, and as at the previous year's Worlds, the Spanish teams were the ones to beat. The Olympic Champion José-Maria Van der Ploeg ESP took the clear lead with a row of top-10 finishes, followed by Javier Arguado ESP as 2nd and Kevin Sproul GBR as 3rd. The rankings, the report and the event-website.
