The first sailing day of the regatta started in a strong northerly breeze. After consulting with the Lake Balaton weather station PRO Istvan Hantó decided to send the fleet afloat and at10:00 hours fired the starting gun for the first race of the championship. As a result, almost 200 hiking men from 4 continents crossed the starting line offering a great view to the crowd on the spectator boats.

The fleet was divided into two groups with John Greenwood (GBR), Andre Budzien (GER) and Michael Maier (CZE) as race winners. Michael Maier, member of the +39 Americas Cup Team, had a successful day winning two races in a row.

Among the Hungarian participants Attila Szilvassy and Antal Székely, both former Finn Class Olympians, showed their potential finishing second in one of their races respectively.

The regatta will continue on Tuesday with the third race scheduled for 10:00 hours in the morning.
