A-Class Worlds 2010: Day 4

by Editor · Published July 2, 2010 · Updated May 24, 2019

Ashby in the lead again, one day each with Brewin.
Huge comeback for Andrew Landenberger scoring 2,3 and 8 for a 5th overall. Bob Baier exits top 10. They are racing in tough light conditions, Brewin scored a 64 in the first race of the day.
Steve is only 2 points behind Ashby if one discard applied. With two more races tomorrow they could complete the event schedule, also they can race on Saturday, but many need to rush to Erquy asap! Photo left: Arno Terra on his dna Eva Fagnoli www.evarte.it

Francesco Lanzoni resumes the day as:
“Hot, sunny and a little bit more windy day today.Wind still very light. 3 races done.”

Report from Arno Terra, DNA builder:
“Today we sailed three races in very light conditions. Certainly the first was not within the class windlimits of 4 knots but a protest aganist the race commitee was lost. Stevie had a bad start and he was mis fleet at the fist mark, Glenn was leading and won the race. The second race in somewhat more breeze was won in a close battle with Glenn by Stevie. In teh third race was Stevie leading but he was passed by Glenn in the last upwind leg. He was just too far away to properly cover Glenn and Glenn got the better breeze.
In under 6 knots wind the curved boards do not bring somewhat extra so speeds were pretty even among the fleet, all boats drifting at almost similar speeds. Although the circumstances do not praticular suit the DNA, the boat has made his impression and many topsailors have ordered one (about the whole australian top). Above 6 knots the boat is clearly faster than the other boats sailing downwind”
