13:40 The conditions are already good with about 15 knots of side-offshore wind from the right. The regatta crew will now go on the water to set up the course which will most likely be the well known up-and-down-course of the last days. It is the plan to run two races back to back and then have a break before the final race of the day. This will leave two races for the final day tomorrow as the maximum number of races is limited to 15. Stay tuned for more news…
