Today we waited on land for a long time. At apr 1PM we launched the boats and went racing in the best conditions so far. With winds from 15 - 25 knots this is weather we are used to !
Sam and Georgia both had great starts and a fantastic first upwinds. Sam was top 5 on the topmark and ended up 8 in his fleet. Georgia was top 10 but fell back on the last upwind and ended as 29 in her fleet.
Maia and Ragna did not get off the start line with the top sailors.Maia ended up 34 in her fleet. Ragna came 40 after she took penalty turns on the start line after the sprit of another sailor got stuck in her rig.
It is encouraging to see that all sailors have the boat speed and skills to improve their position in the fleet. The general sentiment is that we still have lots of improvement potential. All are looking forward to 4 more days of racing !
After Race 1 the Race Commitee sent off three more starts. However, the wind increased to more than 25 knots with thunder coming on, so all races for the rest of the day were cancelled.
Malcom from the US, with whom we share a Coach boat, is in the lead after two days.
