LIGHT WIND START TO FINAL SERIES RACING ON DAY 4

21
Jul 2016

Not everyone loves light air racing, but for those that do the race track conditions here in Sanremo are utopia.

Championship day 4 opened with a postponement ashore, and after a wait for the breeze, racing kicked off in around 10-11 knots, before dropping off.

Two races wrapped up for the 420 Open, and a day of contrasts for series leaders Jim Vincent/Victor Mas scoring a 32,2.

One race for each of the 420 Ladies and U17, pushes Maria Caba/Pilar Caba (ESP) and Violette Dorange/Camille Orion (FRA) into the respective leads.

Note: Just a brief update from race day 4, with full race reports resuming for Friday 22 and Saturday 23 July.
