Race day 4 – No wind, no races

18246 0

The fourth day of the 2023 ILCA Under 21 European Championships & Open European Trophy in Stavanger, Norway, turned into a prolonged waiting game, ultimately leading to the cancellation of races. According with predictions, the wind remained absent throughout the day, prompting the early display of the AP flag on shore in the morning.

With the anticipated races not materializing, participants used the opportunity to unwind by engaging in various activities like sports and card games at the club while awaiting announcements from the Race Committee (RC). However, the wind conditions never exceeded a mere 2 knots within the designated racing area. Consequently, at 15:00, the RC made the decision to hoist the AP flag over the Alpha flag, officially concluding the day’s proceedings.

This outcome means that the standings remain unchanged from the previous day. Sailors can now look forward to more races scheduled for both tomorrow and Sunday, hopeful for better wind conditions to facilitate the competition.

The ILCA 7 sailing competition is being divided now into Gold and Silver fleets. You’ll have the opportunity to track the progress of both the Gold ILCA 7 and ILCA 6 championships through online GPS tracking here: https://www.metasail.it/incoming/448/
