While today was sailable in 6-10 knots, the northwesterly breeze blowing along the coast was decidedly patchy. This, combined with a powerful tide thanks to the full moon having just passed, resulted in a day when consistency was vital and the tacticians had to earn their keep.
Doing this best was Igor Lah and Team CEEREF, which posted a 2-1-5 today, leaving the Slovenian team three points clear of defending World Champion, Vladimir Liubomirov’s Bronenosec Sailing Team.
