15 teams from 6 different nations are taking part at the competition in the Embalse de San Juan, nearby Madrid, place chosen by the Real Club Nautico de Madrid to have a water location close to the capital.

The event who has the support from the “Comunidad de Madrid / Ayuntamiento de San Martin de Valdeiglesias” has surprised the Soling owners with new jibs from the PL Sails de Pires Lima (Portugal). And today all boats were using them in a tricky, puffy and light wind from the West. All teams ended sailing two races, and all of them had one race that was shortened on the upwind mark.
The wind was quite inconsistent, but at least the schedule was maintained.

Team GER 12 with Roman Koch, Alex Hasenclever and Guillermo Parodi took the lead at the qualifying series after winning two races, they are followed close by ESP 4 with Juan Pablo de Diego, Juan Manuel de Diego and Julio Soria and in third Michael Dietzel, TP, CE.

The Championship will continue Saturday, where the qualifying series will be finalized with 3 more races for each group. The first 8 overall move into the gold fleet without points and race on Sunday two races for the medal. The other teams race a single race for the silver fleet.
