Diana Bogaards, Sailing Journalist and Event PRO writes: “On Tuesday August 14 2007, it was tough racing for the 233 participants at the Junior Europeans 420/470, sponsored by Valk Weling. The increasing southwester was a bit more stable than yesterday. Although the conditions on the 420 and 470 courses on the IJsselmeer off Medemblik (NED), were slightly different. The 420-class sailed closer to the shore with an offshore wind, which resulted in more gusts…….. Unlike the steady top ranking in the 470, the 420 podium positions show much more variation. Today's changes also have to do with the discard, which made some teams climb up the leader board. Liu and Cheng from Singapore performed very consistently with a series of 2-4-2 and took the lead”.
