      Race 2 on July 4th, was abandoned due to winds over 60 knots and windshift of 60 degrees on the last reach. Only 22 teams out of 73 entries were able to finish. Four boats sunk some probably by infringements of the class rules. Only two of them could be recovered. Due to the weather conditions the planned races were sailed in the following sequence:

      • 4 July Race 1
      • 7 July Race 2 + 5
      • 8 July Race 3 + 6
