Ups and downs for Multala in Laser Radials
Open Europeans Helsinki 2011 continued on Monday with three classes. These were Laser Standard, Laser Radial and Star.
Reigning World Champion, Finnish Sari Multala was the fastest woman in both of today's two Laser Radial starts, but yet she recorded only one victory.
In the first race Multala was ruled OCS (on course side), which means that she started prematurely and was subsequently disqualified.
"Naturally I was really disappointed afterwards. I rushed the start too much, I should've kept my cool better", said Multala.
At that point Multala found herself in 50th place overall, but a win in the second start lifted her to 15th spot. Belgium's Evi Van Acker is in the
lead after four races.
Milan Vujasinovic of Croatia is in charge of the Laser Standards.
In Star class, Greece's Emilios Papathanasiou and Alexandros Dragoutsis continue at the top.
The same three classes will continue racing on Tuesday, starting at 11 o'clock.
