Yesterday's wind conditions favoured the traditional boards over the new Olympic windsurfing equipment the RS:X, and the leaderboard is dominated by the sailors in the youth and master's categories early on. VAZ, who finished second in the Raceboard Europeans in 1993, 1995 and 1996, leads the women's fleet after wins in both of the day's races, whilst POLLAK is the overnight leader in the men's fleet, but is tied on points with Max WOJCIK (POL) and the current Spanish Formula Windsurfing champion, Fernando MARTÍNEZ DEL CERRO. Curro MANCHON (ESP) is just one point behind and three points ahead of the current Mistral World Champion and winner of the RS:X Cadiz Race last weekend, Nicolas HUGUET (FRA).
The forecast for today is for a steady westerly wind between twelve and 15 knots.
