Following the idea made famous in cycling, the leading crew in each class will wear the "yellow jersey" on a day to day basis, thus defending the overall lead of the preceding race day. Additionally, the teams in second and third overall will wear green (second) and pink jerseys (third), which also change on a daily basis.

The top team of the Star fleet after four races, wearing the yellow jersey on Thursday is Fredrik LOOF and Anders EKSTROM (SWE) who sailed their Star to victory in both races on Thursday and left Robert SCHEIDT and crew Bruno PRADA (BRA) wearing the green jersey on Friday. SCHEIDT commented: "In today's first race Fredrik LOOF was one narrow boatlength ahead of us on the finishing line; for the start of the second race we were 2 minutes late due to a mainsail problem just before the gun!"

The pink jersey (third overall) goes to Alexander HAGEN and Frithjof KLEEN (GER) who have finished each of the four races in third place.

Victory in the fourth race of the Finn fleet helped Ed WRIGHT (GBR) to the overall lead on 11 points, followed closely by Jonas HOEGH-CHRISTENSEN (DEN) and Rafa TRUJILLO (ESP), both on 12 points.

Top scorer of the 2.4mR keelboat fleet isDamien SEGUIN (FRA) with Heiko KRÖGER (GER) close on his heels in second overall and Thierry SCHMITTER (NED) third after five races.

Thursday's two races in the RS:X men's class (two groups) and women's fleet resulted in Przemyslaw MIARCZYNSKI (POL) holding the lead of the men's fleet and wearing the yellow jersey. Second overall after six races is Casper BOUMAN (NED) followed by his countryman Dorian VAN RIJSSELBERGE (NED). Top board sailors in the women's fleet are Romy KINZL (GER) in first, Agata BRYGOLA (POL) in second and Marta HLAVATY (POL) lying third.
