Five races were held in very challenging light and shifty conditions. Big congratulations to Jan Phillip Hofmann and Felix Brockerhoff for their emphatic win. In what was a high scoring regatta for most, they won 4 out of 5 races and discarded a second.

The gauntlet for the World Championship, which starts tomorrow 5th August, has well and truly be thrown down. There is a long list of other boats that have the experience and capability to do likewise so standby for a very interesting week.

The photo by Christophe Favreau of a beautiful old wooden boat underscores the 5o5's 70th anniversary year and still the best racing dinghy on the planet.
