Nice weather again at Vigo, Spain, where the 2018 Laser Master European championships are being held.
Lazy and tricky winds delayed races in the afternoon, making sailors to launch their boats at 14:30 and return to shore around 19:00 after a bunch of hard races.
Two new races per fleet were completed today, counting 6 now in total for the Laser Standard and 5 for the Laser Radial.
Three races scheduled for tomorrow, starting at 11:30, deciding who will be our new 2018 Laser Master European champions!
