Strange wind conditions for Dervio. First two flight (one Thursday and one Friday) with a breeze (5-6 knots), then more wind (from 15 to 10 knots) in 3,4,5 (Saturday last afternoon)and 6 flight (Sunday early morning), in the 7 race the wind went down. The last two races with medium-low wind (10-6 knots).
For the first two races Sorrentino was with Laura Pennati as crew. Then there was, on Saturday (the third day), a early mornig race with a wind blast at 30 and more knots (for a thunderstorm) that was cancelled because of many boat capsize. In that race Laura was injured at a knee joint and so she was substitute by Colombo for the seven other races.
Vittorio Bissaro, in the same third cancelled race, had seven stitches on a leg becouse a bump against a centreboard during a capsize.
Many breaks (boats, mast, bowsprit, sail) and sailors injuerd in this day and on Sunday (last day).
