At the end, finally, light rain has fallen, a very good news for all and for NATURE (it’s about 2 and half month it didn’t, Thanks Climate Change), but wind we don’t know where is gone! Maybe we touched 8[kts] but average below5-6[kts], yes you can say “It’s Monaco”.

However both R.C. were able to bring home 2 races each classes. They had a big help to play with robotic-buoy and manage the shifting and lacking of wind; actually a big role has been played by the long 1[m] waves (shooters say thanks).

Today the RS21 exam has passed positively, with the multi champion and NorthSails experts Andrea Casale onboard to the leader boat; also a good performance arrived by the two lacustri (n.d.t.: lacustrine) boats (one from Malcesine, one from Lecco).

In this conditions the fight of philosophy of sailing come back: better Gennaker or Spinnaker and the Genoa? Yes because the Smeralda 888 class has been very comfortable. By the way this class remain the most beautiful as shape as spinnaker fantasy (come on: Darth Fener helmet, Han Solo with laser blade fighting him, Gorilla, and so on).

Sorry LongTze I couldn’t follow you.

The big show is on the Western Field with J70, the World Championship effects are clear, all are here to start to learn the filed and the level is very high: the second race needed a Black Flag, but all boats were able to start perfectly even if at -1min they were about or less one length from the starting line. Also this field were affected by a big shift of wind, and the boats that have kept the left-centre zone were able to pass the mark in advance.

Ok now it’s time for dreams and hope that Saturday is not like forecast is saying (it’s all week they are missing the timetable).
