Race day 5 – Long waiting was finally rewarded

19422 0

It was a long day on water today for all 228 competitors during the fifth day of races of the 2023 ILCA Under 21 European Championships & Open European Trophy in Stavanger, Norway.

Unpredictable conditions led the Race Committee to hoist the AP flag during the initial starting procedures, which were originally scheduled for 12:00. This, along with several general recalls, resulted in a delay in commencing the day’s activities on the water.

Following these unsuccessful attempts, the wind subsided to a complete calm for a significant duration. It wasn’t until around 15:00 that a pleasant breeze finally swept across the racing area, allowing for proper sailing conditions.

With a wind speed of 8-15 knots, two new races were subsequently held. Based on these latest outcomes, the following are the updated rankings.

Tomorrow the last day will come to decide our new 2023 ILCA Under 21 European champions so stay tuned!

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/
