Credit: With a one hour wait onshore for breeze before starting the quarter finals against the German team helmed by Silke Hahlbrock team (after the gold fleet round robin was cancelled yesterday), we were all delighted to see that the sea breeze came in early so racing got underway and they were able to fit in the quarter finals, the final three silver fleet races and then the semi finals and playoffs… a huge relief for the event organisers.
After winning all three starts against the Germans we are pretty disappointed to say we then lost 3–0 and ended up in the playoffs against the Russians then Spanish, leaving us 6th overall. It was frustrating not to sail to the best of our ability today, but we have picked out some areas to work on in the next few weeks before going into our next event, the European Championships in Austria.
Tomorrow we’ll go out to watch Tunicliffe race Hahlbrock in the finals, and Spithill race Leroy in the petite finals. We’ll also be preparing the tunes for the long drive home!
