By the end of the afternoon, the results of the offshores and inshores were combined in one ranking. The Checkmate Swan 45 of Peter de Ridder (NED) turned out to be the strongest in the fleet of 23 competitors. They beat the Swan 45 World Champion Charisma of Nico Poons (NED) and the Antilope Grand Soleil 43 of Willem Wester (NED) and Olympic medallist Sebbe Godefroid (BEL).

De Ridder: ‘Today, we beat Charisma without discard. This was a good warming-up for the Rolex Swan 45 Worlds in September. We may borrow the Dutch No Limits to participate.’
