2014 Optimist World Championship - Race started with a clear day

by Optiworlds on 26 Oct 2014 2014 Optimist World Championship - 38 Countries competed in the OptiWorld Team Racing Championship. The regattas were very intense. Conditions were challenging as usual. The shallow waters, combined with strong current and five knot breeze made it very hard for the sailors.

The boatyard was full of Opti sailors preparing for the Team Racing Worlds. Having meetings, sharing tactics, talking with their coaches. There were excited and enthusiastic faces. We were able to talk to Singapore team which is the favourite of the championship: 'We want to play the game. We love team work. We like working together. For us sailing Optis is healthy, and fun. The strangest thing we can find here is the color of the water. It is very different to where we sail.'

Daniel Göttlich from Germany Team told us how the race area was. 'It's difficult to sail here because of the short chop caused by the shallow depth. We love sailing here in Argentina because of the great Club Nautico San Isidro and the beautiful weather'.

The Spanish team that qualified for tomorrow shared with us their sensation to stay here: 'Come to this world has been something really special. We are very far from Spain but we feel like we are at home'

Tomorrow will continue the qualifying regattas to get the World Team Title. The countries that passed to the second round are Denmark, Thailand, New Zealand, Argentina, Singapore, Norway, Great Britain, Peru, Brazil, Turkey, Sweden, Nederland, Australia, Portugal, Spain. Others have been eliminated from tomorrow final races but they will take the time to visit Buenos Aires.

The weather condition for tomorrow is North wind of 10-12 Knts. Good winds for every Opti sailor and congratulations for everyone who raced today.
