I was thinking to use a more specific Italian expression
<<“Colpo di C…” per lo scorpione >> but we remain kind…

Even if the starting line is long enough, the ClubSwan 50 has decided to be concentrated on the pin with 2 boats RUS-5007 and SUI-5004 has tried to start left tack from the pin, but the rest of fleet with ITA-50016 has push them back, also the leader of the standing RUS-5007, has been obliged to continue right tack initially with SUI-5004 and later with ITA-5010, finishing so the last to arrive to the first mark.

CuorDiLeone has found the space to tack and overtake, behind, the rest of the fleet and at on the lay-line only OneGroup was in front to all fleet.

ClubSwan50: Downwind for Swan 50 fleet.

With a huge tactical decision on downwind leg, around half field CurDiLeone has decide to jibe, an action that paid: the blue boat has crossed the gate in first position, the same for Perhonen.

Once all fleet was already upwind, the R.C. has decided to use the blue checked flag (N). So all of us went back, wet, at home. The other fleet has a good departure too, but they decided to be in “sguarata” formation, flying for the most of the time alone.

Did I mention the weather??? Not so, very light wind still from 070°, 2-5[kts] with gust maybe 8[kts], overcast and light shower. Yes a typical noon British weather.
So as the title says, the only boat happy for the N flag is the leader of the standing of each class, in particular Skorpios that was in the last position.

At the end to close the day, we had the visit of the
Old Lady of the YCM:
Her Majesty TUIGA D-3. So I've had the possibility to shoot the two
swans of the sea: the Club Swan 50
"In one word, this yacht had to be cool, developed by Juan Kouyoumdjian" (quote from Swan site)
and the TUIGA D-3 m15 by William Fife the m15 king.

All are with crossed fingers for tomorrow for a better meteo, for me also it's time to load the car and drive to Lago di Como for the begin of the season on the lake with O.R.C., H22, J24 and Platu25 classes, the number of boats expected is around 40 (last time for a so big number was with the J24 Italian Championship). I hope the Breva (southerly wind) will makes the dynamic.
