An afternoon summer breeze provided phenomenal conditions for the second day of races at the 2024 EurILCA Europa Cup POL in Gdańsk.
Initially, the Race Committee delayed the start until 1 PM, but it was only after two hours of waiting on shore that the weather in the sailing area improved, allowing all fleets to head out from the harbour to race.
Sailors enjoyed the 12-15 knot wind from the east and choppy waves, which are favorites here in Gdańsk, Górki Zachodnie.
With three new races added to the scores, here are the provisional leaders in all five fleets.
