The wind was late to arrive, but it came, despite the schedule planned to happen at 1200hs, 15:00 the first race started sharp after a schedule modification which races to race, Race Officer – Angel Puente wanted to grant at least one more race to each team, but at the end it was a fantastic day, the wind finally came in all races where raced in a different order but even with hiking situations just time to time, let's not get greedy here.
The day had everything, even the team of boat number 2 with Jaime Alonso, Tomas Peuvrel and Manuel Allo before their last race had to drop the mast in between races to recover the spinnaker halyard. Or like team from Germany Roman Koch, Alex Hasenclever(20) and Guillermo Parodi who decided to leave the last race under Alex's hands, not allowed by the event SIs. Reason they were scored RET, but Alex did a great job sailing for fun with Michael and Guille Parodi and finished third, the kid was proud of his achievement.
After the conclusion of the qualifying series, the 8 first boats will be sailing tomorrow the two races at the gold fleet, but they do not carry all points so is all or nothing. Some locals, boat owners have the advantage as they will be racing their own boats, those outsiders will have to learn a new boat for these races.
Tomorrow the boat selection will be done according to the finishes on the qualifying series.
