This has to be one of the toughest series to win with Group B split by just six points from first to fourth place, and in a fleet where literally every team is in with a shout of taking race wins, the fight for a spot in the Semi-Finals is going to be intense throughout this eight-race series.

After a short delay for the wind to arrive, racing got underway in marginal conditions. The first race was decided on the last downwind, with Team Andoo Australia starting the leg in the lead, closely followed by Sail Team BCN and Swedish Challenge powered by Artemis Technologies. As the bottom of the course approached, the wind shut down and final gybes to the finish line off the boundary laylines were nervous affairs with the Australians and Spanish both agonisingly falling off the foils.

Sweden were the ultimate beneficiaries after managing to stay foiling for longer than the others and following some clever positional work and precise sailing they dramatically crash-gybed off the foils as they crossed the line to score first blood.

With the wind filling and starting to oscillate the second race saw Team Andoo Australia really show their class. Having secured the lead at the first windward gate, after reading the shifts on the right side of the course up the first beat accurately, they extended quickly and never really looked back over the rest of the race.

Leading at one point by over 1,000 metres, Olivia Price and Laura Harding brought the Australian boat home supremely to win at a canter. Behind them, Sail Team BCN scored vital points in second, with JAJO Team DutchSail following up in third.
