There was not much wind on the second or third days (June 21-22)`of the 127th Kieler Woche.
Most Olympic Classes in the ISAF Sailing World Cup had their races postponed. Rain and light winds kept all the sailors ashore on Sunday, and on Monday, they had to enjoy the sun on the dock and wait. “The wind did not increase in the way we hoped it would this morning, but we look forward to a better weather forecast Tuesday. It is very sad, especially for the Star and the Finn, which have only sailed one race so far”, said Jobst Richter, Chairman of the Kieler Woche Race Committee. With just one race on the scoreboard, the Star fleet were keen to get back into the action on Tuesday. The first race got underway in 10 knots of breeze at 11.15 with a black flag start but all the fleet got away cleanly. First to finish was Olympian Emilios Papathansiou (GRE) who has left the Finn fleet and teamed up with Apostolos Karnoutsos to compete in the Star. Two more races followed to give the Stars enough races to sail a Medal Race but without a discard. After four races Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson (GBR) head the leaderboard. A consistent day at the front of the fleet from the 2008 Olympic gold medallists, posting two seconds finishing the day with a bullet places them two points ahead of Mark Mendleblatt and Mark Strube.
