470 MEN

Reigning 470 Junior World Champions, Jordi Xammar and Joan Herp (ESP) launched their assault on the Junior Europeans title with two race wins to easily take the lead over team mates David Charles and Alex Charles (ESP) who finished 5,4. The bronze medallists at the 2014 470 Junior Worlds Malte Winkel and Matti Cipra (GER) are in third.

A penalty for not wearing a PFD on the race track today added a few points to their score, but nothing that Xammar and Herp need to worry about so far. Due to their last minute decision to compete here, the pair are in a charter boat, so whilst familiarisation with different equipment will no doubt see them gain in performance over the coming days, Herp was happy with their speed on the opening day, "It wasn't easy as the wind was pretty shifty. At some points we were leading and thought it would be difficult to maintain, as some boats went more to the extremes than us. It was difficult to control the fleet, but we managed.
The second race was harder, and we managed to just get the lead in the final leg over our friends Giacomo and Giulio [Ferrari and Calabro (ITA)]."

420 OPEN

The 420 fleet sees the 108 boat men, ladies and mixed teams all racing together, to really give the chance to see who is the best of the best.

Hippolyte Matchetti and Sidoine Dantes (FRA) secured the silver medal at the 420 Worlds which finished on 3 August in Germany and were the top placed team aged 18 and under, so no surprise to see them dominating the fleet here at the Junior Europeans with a 1,3 score line. Just 1 point behind are the USA's Russell Clarida and Forrest Thomas in 2nd place, despite a discretionary penalty from race 1.

The ISAF Youth Worlds bronze medallists and home grown Polish team of Ewa Romaniuk and Katarzyna Goralska are in third and rank as the top placed girls team. 2013 Junior European bronze medallists Bart Lambriex and Philip Meijer (NED) are in 4th overall.

Split into two fleets the 420s are reseeded after each day's racing, before the top 54 teams will advance to gold fleet for the six race final series, with the remaining 54 teams in silver fleet.
