Only 2 races as always, and tomorrow they have lay day…? I understand that the As have lots ‘Old’ guard sailors as Landy defines himself! But come on! 2 races per day and they take an entire day to rest?  
In the F18 you race 4 a day no rest at all. I also understand the 2 races per day limit on breakages , but I think they need at least to take advantage of every consecutive day allowing  them to race.

6-6knots today, and Steve Brewin (Nikita/ Brewin Sails) still in front with a good 10 point lead over Landy (Scheurer G6/Landenberger) , that managed to grab 2nd with a 9 & 3 as Mischa (DNA/Mischa Sails) didn´t had a good day with a 31 & 9.
The Polish Rocket, Jacek Noetzel (Exploder/Landenberger),  continues to perform in 4th place although he score a  discarded 37 today. Bob Baier  (Nikita/Landy)  emerges as his initial BFD is off now with 4 & 2 for the day.

My candidate Manuel Calavia (DNA/Ashby) with two bullets now for a  BFD, 4 , DNS, 1 ,1 , 6 . If Manolo continues to complete valid races he will be top 3 just like that.
Another good performance is for Sandro Caviezel, used to race light carbon cats with his F18HT, Sandro is showing some excellent skills as a ‘rookie’ in A major events to my knowledge. He is also racing F18 now.
Thilo Keller (Arrow MKII / Landy)  with a bad today socring 56 & 35, but he might come back also with another discard.

I always like to put equipment, as like in the F18 it is incredible how many different boat / sails / masts designs are present in the top 3 and even the top 10.
At least till now, June 23 , 2013 sailors are making the difference in both classes, and those complaining should train a little more.

Great racing at Barcelona, we just need more daily pics… Although there are some excellent ones from yesterday I published at IACA’s Official FB Page
