Patrick Demesmaeker & Gilles Tas (Goodall Design C2) lead the F18 Europeans at Brest after 3 races scoring 6,2,2 to stay only 1pt ahead Jolbert van Dijk & Frank de Waard (Infusion). Third overall for Ferrec & Laplace, and 4th with a bullet (now a 4th) was for the Argies… until they came ashore and were penalized by the jury for not signing before going out.

Now Cruz & Mariano sit 5th overall, with Heeg & Baars ahead of them in 4th.
Good breeze for the day with the two leaders with great speed. More wind expected for tomorrow windguru.cz/es/index.php?sc=9783
