Look how E 16 bypassed other boats at the upper mark. Unfortunately the wind disappeared totally, spinnakers collapsed, and the sailing was stopped. There were no other starts on Thursday.

US81 (Goose), GER66 and FIN38 approaching buyo

However, E16 comes behind and passes Goose

E16 bypassed Goose, and FIN49, Sara af Hangö. On the left side of the picture is a boat with black mainsail - that's FIN43, Wire, which appears in later pictures in good position.

FRA III also reaches Goose

E16 goes further, FRAIII passes Goose and FIN77 and FIN49

Also US55 comes well, and passes the FINN's

E16 is first at the buyo, seconded by FRAIII

E16 gets the spinnaker quickly set

E16 goes well, FIN49 and FIN77 are far away. Behind the E16 spinnaker can be seen black mainsail - it's FIN43 (Wire) which has sailed well and reaches FIN77
