Tacktick Media Coverage of the 2009 Melges 24 European Championship: Friday R10 1st Leeward Gate
Wind has gone to the right on the run so the leaders have all opted to go to the right gate mark. Joe Fly was the furthest right boat and picked up the new breeze first to slip into the lead at the gate but only just from pilot and then Alina. Blu Moon round fourth and UKA in seventh.
Up the second beat Blu Moon have gone furthest left. UKA furthest left and Alina working the middle. When BM and UKA finally converge BM have to duck them.
At the half way point Pilot have regained the lead Alina are up to second Joe Fly third and a neck and neck battle between UKA and BM for fourth.
