Three good races today have really shaken up the boys 6.8 pack. Yesterday's leader Kieran Martin has not had a good day and drops down to third place, Martin Olmeta from France has moved up to second and Britain's Jack Plummer has moved up to first place. Two wins today for Miran Badloe from the Netherlands means he has shot up from 28th all the way to 11th.

The 6.8 girls have been swopping places - Catherine Fogli is now first and Veronica Fanciulli is second, Naomi Cohen (ISR) and Lara Lagoa (ESP) have also swopped third and fourth. Mattei Lea from France sailed well today, coming second in race 5 then taking the bullet in race 6 and this takes her up from 13th to 10th.

In the boys 7.8 fleet Brit Samuel Sills has leapt dramatically from 6th position to take the lead. Only one point separates Omer Sofer (ISR) now in second and Pawel Tarnowski now in third. Winner of race 6, Olivier Pinlou from France, will be well pleased with his rise up the fleet from 28th yesterday to 14th today!

Helene Noesmoen maintains her lead in the girls 7.8 with Izzy Hamilton still in second. However fellow compatriot Joanna Evans has been knocked down from third to fifth and Ofir Halevy moves up to take her place.

Carlijn Vermeulen from the Netherlands now leads the Ladies Open whilst Marc Escandell maintains his place at the front of the mens Open.
