The Delta Lloyd Regatta, the fifth event in the 2009-2010 ISAF Sailing World Cup series, started today in Medemblik, The Netherlands, in a shifty breeze in the teens and chilly conditions with the RS:X Women and RS:X Men completing 3 races each.

Blanca Manchon [ESP} and Marina Alabau [ESP] traded places in the first two races to dominate the RS:X women's fleet overall and then went on to take first and second places in the third to end the day in those positions on the leaderboard. It's good to see the Spanish Dream Team still firing on all cylinders!
