Day one was a great success for the team. We had 5 races today,ending with 3wins and 2 losses. The 1st was against world number 3 Mathieu Richard from France.We got a penalty on him in the dial up and managed to keep the game close enough and stopped him from wiping the penalty down wind. Race 2 against Neugodnikov (RUS) went well. We won the start and had pace on him throughout the race. Winning confortably. The next was much the same holding a nice lead for the whole race against D. Iehl (FRA). In the 4th race we lost the start which was costly as we couldn't get to the favoured side and trailed the rest of the race. Our last race of the day was a tad dissapointing as we had a comfortable lead against B. Hansen and threw it away by not covering close enough in the last beat. He got a good left hand shift and crossed us at the top mark by a good 2 legnths.
A great start to the regatta and now we have to back it up with a solid second day to try and make the top 8.
