Nacra 17 @Hyeres WC 2018: Day 3
All images Jesus Renedo / Sailing Energy / World Sailing – Tita-Banti are performing a la Besson-Riou in the pre 2016 Olympic period. I followed the gps tracking today, and they lead in light or midrange winds, it was pretty tricky on the course with a late start for the 3 races held today.
The Italians leads with seven races completed. Saxton-Boniface are in just behind , and continue to defend second podium spot.
Tough day for Lange-Carranza with a ufd, but the Gold Medalist recovered with a 2nd in the next race. Still they are 13th, but 5 races to define the top ten still.
