July 13 started with the skipper’s briefing at the “Hercules” yacht-club. Plans for today – two races. According to the regulations of the Championship, in order to be recognized as valid, required, minimum 4 races – today it can be done.
Yesterday, the riders quite quickly dispersed after the evening ceremony: sailing in gusty wind conditions and, in some places, zero visibility is not an easy task, so the rest was needed. That morning, not all fully woke up, so there were no questions to the Chief of the Racing Committee at the morning briefing. Vladimir Komel told about the conditions of today’s races:
– Today we have a steady 10-12 knots southwestern. I think today we will succeed: the Race Committee will respond to changes of wind as happened yesterday. We will try to rearrange the top mark to save more sustainable direction, starting with the first mark.
According to the schedule, the first race starts at 12:00.
In the evening, after the competition and awards ceremony, scheduled annual meeting of boat owners association “Dragon”.
The detailed results of the first race of the day can be found here.
