Light wind… and strong current!
Strong or light wind, still not easy to launch in the big waives remaining from Monday and Tuesday gales…
And still not that easy conditions for racing on Wednesday July 9, 2025 in Noordwijk, the combination of light wind and strong current making both course laying and starting line implementation difficult for Race Committees…
Although many attempts have been made to launch Yellow Fleet, no race has been completed on Bravo Course, when Blue Fleet sailors did succeed in adding one result to their scores.
Current keeping on increasing in strength when wind was steady for not say decreasing, no other option for RC than to display AP on A, sending both groups back ashore.
Captain’s Dinner
Fortunately enough, light breeze and mild temperature did permit a nice party for the sailors in front of Huis ter Duin Hotel, where good Asian style food has been largely provided to the sailors.
What next ?
Plan for Thursday is to try to complete 4 qualifications races in both mix up groups, then being able to build Gold and Silver Fleets for Friday’s finale.
Fingers crossed!
