The RC ran a total of 113 races over the four days, including a complete double round-robin, semi-finals (first to win 3), three consolation series (first to win 2), petit-finals (first to win 3) and finals (also first to win three). The wind varied between 5 and 10 knots, with excellent match racing conditions every day. Entertainment, and a lot of noise, were provided by the St. Petersburg Airfest on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with all sorts of aerial activities, from biplanes to modern military jets, all over the airport immediately adjacent to the racing area.
