Due to fairly constant wind forces, despite some unexpected changes in direction, the second match day was completed without major problems. A cold, yet exciting day for both spectators and competitors. Two large pleasure boats were provided by the chatter Riedel, thus supplying spectator tribunes for over 1000 onlookers.
