Another grey day dawned in Praia da Vitoria, on Terceira island in the Azores – unusual conditions for this time of year, but is that not the same everywhere? With 3 days to go and 9 races already completed it was decided to go for 2 races back to back today and give the racers a chance to see some more of this wonderful island.
Great racing in good winds of around 20knots, tested the lightweight sailors, as reflected in today’s results. Edwy Zoonekynd FRA-730 had the best day, taking the first bullet of the day and a third, whilst fellow countryman Valentin Brault took the second win.
The third discard comes into play but does not change the order of the top ten. However, Miguel Martinho’s lead is now just one point over Valentin Brault who has widened the gap between him and third placed Marco Begalli to 5 points.
Just outside the top ten, Maciek Rukowski scored a second place in race 10 today. A late starter in these championships it will be interesting to see how far he makes his way up the leaderboard.
