Europeans @Barcelona Day 2: Steve Brewin leads
Image: Reial Club maritimo Barcelona. 2011 World Champ, Steve Brewin continues to lead over Mischa Heemskerk & Andrew Landenberger.
Mischa had a hand injury yesterday and raced with some stiches. Brewin comes from a tough back injury while sailing F18 last year. So it is a really good comeback.
