Second was Fredrik Loof Johan Tillander of Sweden and third Alexander Schlonski.
A premature start in the penultimate race of last weekend's Delta Lloyd regatta in Holland cost Peter O'Leary and Tim Goodbody a top finish in a fortnight of competition that has already seen the Cork-Dublin pair crowned Eastern European champions.
