by Flemming Clausen 18 Jul 2017 07:36 BST 15-21 July 2017

107 Contender dinghies were ready for racing on day 1 for the Contender World Championship in Sønderborg in the southern part of Denmark. The wind was westerly 11-16 knots quite shifty.

The first race of the regatta started after one general recall. Race one was won by the UK's Simon Mussell, with Mark Bulka second and Jason Beebe third, both from Australia. The local sailor Jesper Nielsen from Aabenraa/Dyvig finished fourth.

The wind was similar in the second race. Mark Bulka rounded the 1st mark and held that position all the way round and finished with a decisive lead. Race winner in race 1, Mussell, capsized just after the windward mark and finished the race 8th. Jason Beebe finished second with Voker Niediek from Germany picking up third. Jesper Nielsen was 8th at the first mark and overtook four boats to finish 4th.
