The boats are packed in Hyeres and the Olympic fleet is slowly moving to the Netherlands for its fifth World Cup of this season. The next destination is Medemblik along the Ijsselmeer. A record number of 703 boats have pre-entered the 26th Delta Lloyd Regatta, to be sailed from May 26 until May 30 2010. The biggest class so far is the Laser Standard with 114 competitors, followed by the 470 Men and RSX Men (both 100 entries).
In eight out of ten classes, the leaders of the latest ISAF World Ranking are present. In the remaining two, we see Marit Bouwmeester (NED, Laser Radial) and Edward Wright (GBR, Finn) lining up as second best ranked top sailors. The Paralympic 2.4mR class shows up with a record number so far in 2010 (21). Paralympic champion Paul Tingley (CAN) and silver medalist Damien Seguin (FRA) grab their chance to try the venue of the coming IFDS Worlds 2010 in Medemblik. They will have to battle title defender Thierry Schmitter from the Netherlands.
