10:30
Race director Klaus Michel has held the first skippersmeeting of the FW Worlds at 10:00. At the moment the conditions are not sufficiant with only 6 to 10 knots. But the forecast looks pretty spectacular. The wind should pick up in the afternoon to 7 or 8 Bft with gusts of 9 to 10. As the direction will be offshor there seems to be no chance for Waveriding. So we will probably have some extreme racing in the afternoon. At the moment the course is set up. So stay online…
