OeSV boats get off to a good start at the 49ers World Championships

Austria's sailing boats got off to a respectable start at the 49ers World Championship off Lanzarote on Tuesday! 

Keanu Prettner/Jakob Flachberger coped well with the shifting winds and finished in the top 10 in all three races (8th, 9th, 4th), putting the duo in tenth place overall.

Benjamin Bildstein and David Hussl finished in second place once, and their further 16th and 8th places mean that they are in twelfth place for the time being. Three more races are planned for Wednesday.
