Yngling Revival and Riva Cup

Garda, Italy

On the second day of racing on Garda Trentino, all classes were on the water by 13:00 while a storm caused a short black-out. Racing went on anyway and the Committee were able to get two races underway with no problem.

For the Yngling Revival, an open event, it is three women's teams who occupy the top spots after four races. Sally BARKOW (USA) is in first place after finishing second in both races. The Russian team helmed by Anna BASALKINA is in second after adding a bullet in race three and a third in race four to her score. Third overall is now Ekaterina SKUDINA (RUS) who also finished first and third but the other way around.

The International 14 fleet is dominated by the British sailors who hold all of the top six places. In first after five races is Alister RICHARDSON (GBR) who has a near perfect scoreline, only marred by a second in race two. In second place is Michael LENNON and in third, Martin JONES.

In the Dyas rankings Suesse HOLGER (GER) is first, scoring three points less than Thorsten ANDERSOHN (GER) in second with Dirk GROTEBRUNE (GER) in third.
