After 8 sailed races, Ad Noordzij & Bastiaan Tentij secured a 3 points advantage over Gurvan Bontemps & Frédéric Moreau, 24 points, US team Mathieu Marfaing – James Melvin being in a 30 points tie with local competitors Nicolas Gillet – Nicolas Poix, just ahead Benoît Champanhac – Grégoire Courtel, 31 points.
Needless to say, the podium is not played, and the last race will be decisive, especially if the Race Committee decides to launch a long distance course affected by a 1,5 coefficient.
