The day started with coach meeting and a rule 42 lecture for me. The umpires showed us what they will look at and gave some advice.
Then the sailors arrived to the harbor and fixed their boats. The D-flag was hoisted at 11:00 and the sailors got out on the water. We got 30 minutes on the course before the first start.
We had wind around 10 knots and a current at 10 meters a minute, same direction as the wind. The sailors got the preparation they needed and they were of.
Lucas managed the conditions the best; he got a 3 and a 6 which places hem number 4, great first day!
The other sailor had a bit trouble with the starts but showed a lot of good sailing. Victoria did two great races if you don´t count the starts and ended up 24 and 16. Oscar managed to get from 35 to 14 on the last upwind during the first day. Olle went from 60 at the top mark to 29 through the finish. Our youngster Marius had a bad first day, he did a god down wind and passed 10 boats.
So everyone show good speed and spirit so the team is optimistic for tomorrow. WE hope we are able to sail, the forecast say 1-8 knots…
Lets go Sweden!
