After one race the Mistral, Star and Laser classes were sent back ashore to wait to see if the wind would subside a little, which it did allowing most to be sent out again for further racing later in the day. Meanwhile the Yngling and Europe classes stayed on the water for back to back racing.

Robert Scheidt (BRA) is leading the Laser fleet, but is being challenged by Ed Wright (GBR). Sari Multala (FIN) continues to lead the Europe class, with Min Dizillie (BEL) hot on her heels, just three points adrift.

Nick Dempsey (GBR) has made huge gains in the Mistral Men, after a relatively slow start to the regatta, two bullets and two seconds in the last four races have pulled him into the lead. He's just one point clear of team mate Dom Tidey (GBR), but when a second discard comes into effect, since he is currently counting a 15 th, he will be in an even stronger position.

Lee Lai Shan (HKG), Olympic Gold medallist at the 1996 Olympics, continues to lead the Mistral Women from Natasha Sturges (GBR).
Things couldn't be tighter at the top of the 49er fleet, Iker Martinez and Xabier Fernandez (ESP) are tied on eleven points with Luka Rodion and George Leonchuk (UKR).
In the Finn class 2001 European Champion Emilios Papathanasio (GRE) is three points clear of new recruit Ben Ainslie (GBR).
Iain Percy and Steve Mitchell (GBR) were flying in the Star class, scoring three bullets from the last three races, to have a relatively comfortable lead going into the last days racing.
There is just the one final race scheduled for today for all classes, with the latest possible start at 14:00 h for the 49 er class.The Star class are scheduled to start at 10:30 h.
