A total of four UK sailors will be making the trip over to Douarnenez, Brittany, France for the World Championship on the 8th-12th July, the first time the UK fleet has been back in almost a decade.
From the south of the UK, with Tim leaving from Plymouth for Roscoff and Lucy from Portsmouth destination St Malo. Steve & Emma making the Newhaven - Dieppe crossing making this an easy international championships to get to.
For Open Week the fleet of 97 boats were divided into 2 flights with each flight selected each day based on the previous days results to ensure that each fleet had the right mix of boats with 8 races scheduled over four days.
For some Open week is a chance to qualify for the worlds, for others it was a chance to practice ahead of the main event starting on Friday 8th July.
Winners of Open week were:
Casper Fink from Denmark
Anna Livbjerg (and 1st woman) from Denmark
Oskari Laurila from Finland
The top ten was made up of 4 Spanish, 2 Danish, 2 Finnish, 1 Norwegian and 1 French.
The 6th & 7th July are set aside for measurement and registration - with 140+ boats in total taking part, this process may take some time.
For the worlds, the Men & Women sail as separate fleets, with 80+ for the Men and 60 for the Women.
