The decision was made to race the men in one fleet but competitors and organisers at the 2009 FW Worlds in Santa Pola had to wait until after lunch for the wind to increase. The finish was set very close to the spectator stand on the shoreline. Over-eager to get started, the first race started with a general recall - many sailors ignored the chase boats and sailed to the first mark! However, a good clean start followed with 17 knots at the windward mark. Fast paced and exciting racing was the order of the afternoon with two races for the men and two races for the women before the wind dropped late in the day in advance of a storm.
