20:17 | another 4 races today – great conditions. POL013 consolidated his position at the top of both Youth and overall rankings. POR6 heads the masters rankings. Tomorrow we will attempt 2 races with first start at 15.00hrs

15:20 | 10 minutes to the warning signal for race 9. the wind is good – the plan is for 4 races today – if conditions remain

11:45 | a great new idea from Manuel Soares , the Race Officer- he has every competitors email address. Every morning he emails competitors with the weather forecast and reminds them of the schedule of the day. A skippers meeting via internet !

11:43 | we still have a few hours before the first possible start – everone has plenty of time to recover from yesterdays racing and even take some time for sight-seeing. Competition and tourism combined !
