Sunny... 15 knots of breeze... Perfect racing conditions on day one of the Aloha Under 15 European Championship in Puck, Poland.
Kevin FESTOCQ (FRA) excelled with a first place and a second to top the leader board after day 1. His friend and compatriot Colin POUDEROUX (FRA) started relatively slowly with a fifth in the first race but took the second comfortably in front of Kevin (2nd).
Laura LINARES (ITA) is the top girl. Racing with the boys is no problem. She took fifth overall in the second race! Martyna GOSZCZYNSKA (POL) is second girl.
Day two brought 810 knots of breeze for the third race of the championship and Colin POUDEROUX (FRA) continued where he left off on day one to take first place ahead of Jean Baptiste FRANCOIS (FRA) and Kevin FESTOCQ (FRA).
The breeze built to 12 - 15 knots at the start of the fourth race and then built some more. Alejandro RODRIQUEZ (ESP) who has not managed better than sixth so far in this event, really enjoyed the stronger breeze and won just ahead of Kamil ZWOLAK (POL) and Colin POUDEROUX (FRA).
In the girls class, Laura LINARES (ITA), now lying seventh overall, has it seems already reserved the top step of the podium. Martyna GOSZCZYNSKA (POL) just cannot seem to get on terms with her.
