On the first racing day the weather in Saint Petersburg proved its unpredictability again: despite the storm forecast, it was sunny, with a stable wind of 5-12 knots and gusts of up to 20 knots 

The leader of the first two stages, Anatoly Arnautov’s Atoll Sailing Team, showed the best result. The team won three out of five races and ended up first in the rating. Yuri Morozov's Russo Trans team was three points behind the leaders, and Inna Balashova's Dolce Vita was third with 10 points.

On Saturday the weather in the Gulf of Finland was great for racing again: sunny with a stable wind of 7-9 knots and gusts of up to 18. Four new races were held. 

Atoll Sailing Team with 10 points remained a confident leader. Its closest rival, Russo Trans team, managed to reduce the gap by one point on Saturday, but was unable to displace the leader (12 points). The Sail & Sea crew (18 points) that managed to regain one position rose to the third place in the table.
