A slow start to racing on day one of the Euros

Thursday 6th August, 2009

After six long hours of waiting for wind to start racing here in Middelfart, the race committee were finally able to start racing at 16.30 and continued racing until 20.00 unfortunately fitting in just 5 flights. Although our group was racing first we only sailed one race today against fellow Brit Katie Archer’s team. Although she had the initial advantage as we were late to start, by the top mark we had taken the lead and despite the tricky shifty breeze were able to remain ahead to post our first win.

Tomorrow we’re expecting slightly more breeze so although we’re off for the first match, hopefully we’ll get a full day of racing in and be able to catch up today’s missed flights.

We’ll keep you posted!
