No wind today, one group could complete a race but with several protests. It seems Bundock was in a good position and was drop dead again with no wind and 20 boats passing him by.
Good move on the RC to have 4 races yesterday. Tomorrow the other group must finish their 5th qualifying race:2011.f18worlds.com/attachments/category/58/q5-YG.pdf
1 more qualy and the fleets will split in Gold and Silver.
Although tricky conditions the best sailors are up there.

Photos Above: Former World Champs de Koning and Visser, Thijs seems to be wondering his future… later he posted on his tiwtter account “we only sailed 1 race, it went good until the last downwind, then the wind died and we went from 2th to 6th, but it could have much worse!!”
Right the complete Sail Innovation Team..well Fischer is missing as he is Noumea!
Udin was not happy with the conditions either, but it is what it is for all. Lets hope for more wind tomorrow.. Lets pray to the almighty Aeolus….
