Split by half a second after 30 minutes at 20 Knots.

Moth European Championship, Horsens Denmark and the race officer held the fleet on shore in the hope that the wind and waves would die down, The wind dropped to sailable conditions and the race started with the Moths screaming upwind lead by current European Champion Arnaud Psarofaghis. The Swiss was first around the windward mark followed by countryman Jean-Pierre Ziegert. Britain’s Simon Payne and Mike Lennon were next. Psarofaghis and Payne extended and as he closed the gap Payne pitchpoled on the run and was overtaken by Eelco Boers of Holland. Psarofaghis missed the lay line to the windward mark and the double tack allowed Payne back in. The two Mach 2 riders flew downwind towards the finish. Psarofaghis gybed for the line, Payne gybed inside and they crossed together. Psorfaghis won, Payne was second Ziegert was third Boers fourth and Lennon fifth.
With only one race sailed the race officer wisely sent a very tired fleet home.
