After three new tests there are changes in the general classification of 49erFX, where the British Freya Black and Saskia Tidey, the winners of the last edition, are the new leaders of a fleet composed of 62 ships, although tied to points with the second ones: the Spanish Paula Barceló and María Cantero. The canarian-balear crew keeps the second square after a very consistent day on which they again shone with an eleventh followed by two seconds. Four points away are the German Marla Bergmann and Hanna Wille.

The 70-board fleet of iQFOiL Women has as its first leader the Polish Anastasiya Valkevich, which overtakes the Israeli Tamar Steinberg and the Italian Marta Maggetti, both tied to points in the second and third drawer of the provisional podium. The Spanish Andrea Torres, Pilar Lamadrid and Barbara Winau in the platoon.
The premiere for the Formula Kite was intense, with four tests in both male and female category. The youth world champion Riccardo Pianosi, second in the last edition of the Sofia, is the first male leader thanks to an almost perfect performance: three first and one fourth, the latter, its discard.
31 are the riders that compete in a single female fleet of Formula Kite. The Dutch Jessie Kampman was almost perfect in the opening day, with three first and a quarter, which is her discard. The French Lysa Caval, second to four points, is not far behind, while the Chinese Chenxue Liu completes the first provisional podium of the class in the east of Sofia Mallorca.
