Despite a very full day of racing at the European Team Racing Championships, one further race for all teams must be completed before moving into the semi final stages of the competition. The top four teams in each class proceed to the next stage.[more]
The preliminary stage consists of two “round robins ” – in each round each team will race once against each of the other teams, one at a time. With 6 teams in each class, each round will consist of 5 races for each – team v team.
At the close of the first round robin the winning teams were from France in Techno 293 class, and Italy in the RSX class.
The race committee then moved into the second round robin series of races. After 4 races on RSX for each team, Argentina hold an unassailable lead (4 wins) over Poland, France and Italy, each with 2 wins.
France also had a very good day with 4 wins to lead in the Techno 293 class, ahead of Italy and Great Britain both with 3 wins.
The championship is part of the world famous World Festival on the Beach Festival, now in its 25th edition, hosted by the Albaria Club, Mondello, Sicily.
