First at the top mark, Nenad VIALI from Croatia enjoyed "half an hour of glory" before dropping to fourth position at the end of the reaches. He was followed by Soren HOLM, Rafael TRUJILLO, Richard CLARKE, Andrew SIMPSON, Zhang XIANGFENG and Dean BARKER. Soren HOLM, who, like the Croatian had lost some ground on the reaches, claimed first place at the end of the second beat in front of Richard CLARKE and Andrew SIMPSON. The wind by then had dropped to 10 knots and the race committee had changed the Oscar flag (free pumping downwind) for Romeo, reverting to the usual RRs 42.
The jury was again in action and penalized 4 sailors including Ben AINSLIE and Mateusz KUSZNIEREWICZ for the second time, forcing the regatta leader to retire from the race. "This is so stupid, I saw the C flag for the change of course at the top mark but I didn't see the R flag. I was so concentrated on the shifts and Sebastien just behind me. It is a real pity, I was coming eighth and this will make it harder to win the regatta." declared a disappointed Mateusz. Richard CLARKE led the fleet around the last leeward mark with Andrew SIMPSON just behind. The last beat proved tricky. Simpson took the option on the right while Clarke sailed more conservatively in the centre. More pressure on the right lifted Andrew SIMPSON to the finish. Clarke was second in front of Soren HOLM and Rafael TRUJILLO. If the previous day was "kiwi day" yesterday was declared "Croatian day" with Nenad VIALI, Karlo KURET and Marin MISURA taking fifth, sixth and seventh places. The first Junior was Wietze ZETZEMA (NED) in 40 place.
After 6 races (and 1 discard) Mateusz is still in the lead with 16 points over Ben AINSLIE and 18 points over Sebastien Godefroid. Florent Guillaume is in fourth place in front of Dean BARKER. The first Junior is Lei GONG from China in 43 position. Tapio NIRKKO is second junior in 45 place and Oleksyi BORISOVin 49.
In the battle for Olympic qualification, the top 5 nations are: Austria (Florent RAUDASCHL), Argentina (Alejandro COLLA), Russia (Vladimir KRUTSKIKH), Italy (Michele MARCHESINI) and Hungary (Balazs HAJDU).
