With the Ramos partnership seizing the win on a 5 point tally, nine points behind were Luis Pinheiro/Francisco Mourao, with Manuel Pessanha/Miguel Santos just one point off them in third.

The top -placed female team were Mafalda Pires de Lima/Catarina Coelho, with the win in the Junior fleet going to Joao Bolina/Rafael Rodrigues and the first U17 team being Manuel Fortunato/Frederico Baptista.
