After six races with strings, the poor start has been cancelled out

With places 13 and 2 yesterday, the Berlin trio Ulrike Schümann, Wibke Bülle and Winnie Lippert moved to the top of the 41-boat field at the World Championship of the Olympic classes in Cadiz.

But it's close. The US team led by Hannah Swett are tied on 32 points, with their compatriots led by Jody Swansson just one point behind. Kristin Wagner's crew are also well placed in the overall standings in sixth place, just five points off the top. The Ynglings have a rest day today.

of the first races were also completed by the star boats. However, with overall places 15 (Koch/Koy) and 27 (Pickel/Kolb) after three races, the start can be described as a flop.

Petra Niemann and Christiane Petzke are in fifth and tenth place in the Europes.
