A very pleasant day was
today at the race course although the
forecast for today was a poor one – rain
and almost no wind, but the day ended up
sunny with moderate winds, simply
perfect conditions after the winter
pause. New rating rule, new sails, new
season. Every crew was testing and
tuning try to get the most from the
boat. First race was started with 6
knots of southerly wind on the first leg
that gradually built up to 13 knots
and settled at 11-12 knots in the second
race. The first day finished with third
windward/leeward race and much lighter
wind conditions.
Bohemia Express (Richard Vojta, CZE,
Grand Soleil 42R) is leading after three
races with two wins and a fourth place,
followed by three differen boats but
with exactly the same number of points:
X-cite (Tonko Rameša, CRO, X 41), Gringo
2 (Robert Sandalić, CRO, A 40), and
Squalo Blanco (Frane Barbieri, CRO, J/V
37). Next three boats are again in only
two points difference, what means that
two more windwadr/leeward races
scheduled for tomorrow will be very
interesting.
