70 km north from Amsterdam Schiphol airport (65 km motorway) you'll find the small town Medemblik on the IJsselmeer coast. A well known racing location for Olympic class windsurfers. Medemblik has a long history with hosting one of the ISAF World Cup events, formerly known as the Spa Regatta.

Medemblik is the smallest but oldest of the West- Frisian towns. Count Floris the Fifth granted Medemblik city rights as far back as 1289. In order to keep the rebellious West Frisians under control, he had a fortress built which stands proudly at the mouth of the harbour to this day: Radboud Castle. Medemblik received town privileges in 1289, nowadays the city counts about 7.600 inhabitants.

Due to its rich history, Medemblik is an interesting place to visit. Nowadays Medemblik is one of the most important sailingcenters of the Ijsselmeer with several yachting harbours. More information about Medemblik can be found at http://www.vvvmedemblik.nl/

Youths and Masters Worlds, Medemblik, Day One Racing
Posted On:  15/08/2012 10:18:40

Championship racing has begun in Medemblik on "warm up Tuesday" in sunshine and light winds. The aim was to have 3 races for each of the fleets, in between techno racing, but the forecast big thunderstorms and heavy winds later in the day meant close of play after just 2 races for each of the raceboard fleets could be completed.

Class President, Paul Leone (GBR 1111) heads the leaderboard in the masters fleet with a second and a third,  Veteran Kai Mannisto (FIN 50) beat him in the first race but came fifth in the second race so sits in second place overall.  Pedro Moura (POR 73) was the winner of the second race but came sixth in the first, so he is third overall.

Mixed fortunes also in the youth fleet. Debeune (FRA 835) is first overall with two second places.  Artem Murashev (RUS 54) took the first bullet then a fourth and is second overall.  In third overall is Daniel Blinnikka (FIN 5) with two consistent thirds, and winner of the second race Bautista Saubidet Birkner (ARG 401) is in fourth place.

All to play for as the forecast looks set for "Super Wednesday" with 20 knots under clear blue skies.

RESULTS:  Masters after 2 / Youths after 2
