BIC Techno 293 Worlds Ergo Hestia Cup Day 1 - First it was a little light, a little wet and a little cold. But soon it became pretty windy so everyone had to concentrate on sailing. It is not easy here in Sopot with offshore winds and it was quite a challenge for all.

After a little dramatic start of the first race all went as planned and all fleets sailed two races each. After lunch break one more race for all and later in the afternoon even some sun and blue sky. Great day to start a championship.
