Like sailing at home in the Mugelsee located in Berlin the experience at lake sailing and soft conditions also did play well for GER 339 helmed by Donald Lippertt sailing with Tim Giesecke and Sven Rikwald at the first race of the day taking their 4th bullet at the Worlds.
The local club representative HUN 1 helmed by Sandor Varjas sailing with Laszlo Kovasci and Gabor Meretei started their recover after a few not so good races at the championship and they were followed by team UKR 1 helmed by Sergey Pichuguin sailing with Liubov Chunikhovska and Sergey Ivansits.
At this first race the left side was a bit favored, while for the subsequent race the right and the middle were better and at this race spectators finally saw a major shift at the results with a bullet earned by team AUT 100 helmed by Christian Spiessberger sailing with Max Reisinger and Leopold Berner another light wind specialist they were followed again by HUN 1 showing their strong recovery and in third came AUT 7 helmed by Florian Felzmann sailing with Stephan Beurle and Michael Felzmann .

Four races more to go and despite all top 5 teams have their chance to win, the battle for the third place got super tight amongst HUN 1, AUT 7 and BRA 73 helmed by Kadu Bergenthal sailing with Vilnei Goldmeier and Edgar Oppitz.
