We have anchored the boat now. At the moment the wind is too low but the regatta crew is setting up the course. We hope that it will rise an stabilize. Even if you can plane you need a more wind then the minimum 7 knots here because of the big fleet and the gusts and shifts.

12:46
We are now switching to the start ship again. It is the plan to run three races back to back. The last possible start is at 16:00. So we hope for a good final of the EC Malcesine.
