Day two of the championship produced wind and waves in abundance, but today the sail out of the harbour channel to the course area was “manageable” for most of the fleet. The Under 17 girls had a long wait before getting their championship started – but at 15.00 their chance came. Two races back to back and a tie break for first place separated Hanna Idziak (POL 416) from Lea Mattei (FRA 161). [more]
However it was once again considered unsuitable for the under 15 racers and they were released for the day before the D flag for the under 17 girls.
Earlier in the day the decision was made to send out the Under 17 boys with the intention of 3 races back to back. Another tough day in prospect, but with a dire forecast for the final day of gold fleet qualification it was motivation enough to complete the minimum 4 races required to make the final cut.
French sailors dominated the top 3 positions in both yellow and blue groups – and lead the series after day 2:
1) Dante Chiapello (FRA 314)
2) Martin Olmeta (FRA 1)
3) Maxime Labat (FRA 0)
It was also a clean sweep of podium positions for France in the Techno Open. This fleet was sent to start with the Raceboard Youth and Masters, as two course areas were set today. Three back to back races and 3 bullets for Adrien Richard (FRA 601)
