90 Crews From 21 Countries Doing Battle At Europeans

420 Junior European Championship

Nieuwpoort

After one day's racing and three races, it is the German pairing of Christopher Lorenz/Friedrich Gebert who are leading with two bullets and a third.

Chasing hard behind them, on a mere 1 point gap are Ribeiro Goncalo/Neves Fausto.

These two teams have already built up a reasonable margin over the rest of the fleet and if they can maintain their form look good for a podium place, but it is early days, with another 6 days of racing.

The event has a webcam from which you can seen the fleet sailing out to the racing, scheduled around 10.30 each day: http://www.vvwnieuwpoort.be/webcam/meteopage.htm

Results are available at the event website.
