No play

On Lake Garda, the 49er Europeans moves into final fleet stages without the wind

The final day of qualification ended yesterday with a total of five races. The yellow and the white fleets sailed three races while the blue and red fleets sailed. two. The committee decided to discard the third race so that both groups finished with five races.

With the shortened series some of the competitors were lucky such as the Spanish team of Alberto Padron and Javier De la Plaza who, thanks to that decision found themselves in the Gold fleet. On the contrary the Danish team of Peter Hansen and Soren Hansen missed it and are now leading the Silver fleet.

Today should have seen the start of the finals but the wind was lazy - the threatening clouds on the mountains didn’t let it blow. When a light wind settled the bronze fleet was sent to the course. Just as they were about to start the wind dropped completely. They came ashore with the rain. The sailors spent their day playing football, reading or relaxing at the café.

The Gold fleet will start tomorrow morning at 8.30, the silver fleet at 13.30 and the bronze fleet at 15.30. Christoffer Sundby from the Norwegian team leads going into the finals. He said: “If the fleet manages to wake up, it will be a good days racing. There’s a nice northerly breeze here in the morning but I hope we won’t race at that time…I am not really able to think before 10 in the morning!”
