After the first two races of the Finn European Masters, Zdenek Gebhart, from Czech Republic leads.
Gebhart (1,4) leads by two points from Bas de Waal (6,1) and three points from Cees Scheurwater (5,3), both from The Netherlands.
The largest ever Finn European Masters opened at the Tihanyi Hajós Egylet, Hungary, on Wednesday in ‘paradise’ sailing conditions.
Competitors mainly from across eastern Europe have gathered in Tihany, on Lake Balaton in Hungary for the 2021 Finn European Masters and were treated to some challenging blue water sailing in 27 degrees with 6-10 knots of breeze.
Best placed British competitors are Craig Dalgarno in 36th place and Graham Douglas 53rd.
The first two races were sailed in a 6-10 knots breeze, while a third race was attempted but later abandoned as the breeze became too shifty and unstable.
The tropical weather conditions are expected to persist and the championship continues until Saturday, with 10 races planned over the four-day event.
