Race Committee headed by Silvio Dell Innocenti pulled out two races in not a perfect day, the sun and clouds where there, the heat as well, but the thermal was mixed with a possible storm coming in.
The first race was the one with the most constant wind ranging from 8 to 12 knots from around 120-130 degrees, the left side paid but it was not about hitting the corner, there were drag racing and pulling out the strings to be in the right lane. Team NOR 131 had a start at the pin, played the shifts and rounded first the mark to no loose the lead. HUN 1 who is here strong like we sawpast weekend at Bellano Trophy was the follower and in third came GBR 155 all the way from the Island placing a great third place.
The Second race was super tricky at the start the wind shifted to the left big and the velocity decreased substantially, making the teams at the pin start on port, the wind would return later but never too strong, the hiking was a in/out situation. Now the control was by HUN 1 who took his bullet home and was followed by NOR 131 and in third from Attersee AUT 7.
Tomorrow two more races are scheduled to start at 12:00hs, a bit earlier but knowing the Italian wind, some waiting might be necessary to have the one fully blowing over the lake. Also tomorrow, Martin, Alex and the class Secretary are in charge to present a South American BBQ at the crane grilling about an amount of 50 KG of meat. Wine will be the drink to irrigate the sailors after the races. The forecast shows a cloudy day which trends to lead to a similar wind pattern as today.
