The Opening Stage was completed on Day Two of the ISAF Sailing World Cup - Delta Lloyd Regatta in Medemblik, The Netherlands.
It was a very long day in Medemblik, during the second day of the Delta Lloyd regatta. As expected the wind remained light during the morning before dying totally. The faith and patience of the racing committee paid its dividend, the wind finally reappeared from the North West allowing for racing to resume.
It took all day to conclude the Match racing Opening series. Ekaterina Skudina and her team have been steadily improving since the start of the year.
