On Friday only 5 races were held from the 7 proposed, two of them before a rain/windstorm came into the racecourse, teams were called to land and had to wait until the front was gone, then back again to the race course finishing three more races. After the storm the winds were nice from 8 to 10 knots.
On Saturday teams were able to complete the missing races, and then it came another storm, again they were sent back to land and had to wait, after the one was gone back to the water to complete all races from the qualifying series in an increasing wind from 5 to 15 knots to end up dying the one.
