Race Officer Jan Prockat from YCBG pulled out three races in a difficult day.
It was a slow morning with clear skies and light breeze in land. Solings went out early to the racecourse, expecting to race at 11hs, but the plan failed and only around 12hs after many wind shifts, wing increases and also decrease, a race was started, and the one was then shortened at the last upwind, this race had light winds fro 4 to 7 knots from around 290-300 degrees.
The second race only happened after a long wait for some breeze, that finally came from around 300-320 degrees with 5 to 9 knots/
The third race the conditions were similar as the one before, and amazingly three races where achieved under clear skies.
The first race saw USA 853 Collins, Baumueller and Strauch looking for a hole in the starting line to cross on port from the beginning, but not found, anyways after dipping all boats going to the right while the fleet was going to the left, one their way to the mark now on starboard they met UKR 2 Yarovyy, Marchenko and Boiko then NOR 131 with Negaard, Barne and Mathiesen and HUN 1 with Varjas, Kovasci and Meretei, but finally rounded fourth. They would end sliping down but the three top boats kept their intense fight and finally awarded the bullet to HUN1 They followed by the Norwegian team NOR 131 and in third UKR2
The second race after a lot time waiting started, and at this time the H-boat joined the course, Solings despite smallers are way fasters. The crowd at some rounding was for experienced ones.
NOR 131 won the race with authority and would win also the third race of the day kicking them up to lead the scoreboard.
HUN 1 with another great day finished second followed by NED 33 but at the third race when they ended up in third following CAN 225 with Hall, Zeileis and Reisinger they saw their leadership disappear.
Two races for the last day are scheduld starting at 12hs and no races would start after 1500hs.
