RS500 World Championships – Uproar on Day 3

by Heather Chipperfield on 6 Aug 2015
Fleet in action on day three - 2015 RS500 World Championships Erik Van der Brandt
Day three brought some uproar to the RS500 World Championships. With finally some serious wind, everybody was woken from their light wind sleeps. Capsizes were all over the place and the windy conditions also had its effects on the leaderboard.

The light wind specialized Italians had their troubles and fell down while some Dutch and Swedish boats proofed to be specialists in “strong” (still just about 14 knots) conditions. The Brits Peter and Heather are still in the lead, but they saw competition getting closer with “meagre” results at the end of the day (four and eight).

In the silver fleet the competition is perhaps even tighter. There are lots of contenders for the silver fleet prize although the Dutch Marieke and Richard (our hosts from Aquavitesse) appear to be the strongest bet at this moment.

Tomorrow probably will be an entirely different day again with forecasts of relatively light winds. Our only hope against the Italians coming back is probably the British party tonight. They are bringing a two manned steeldrum band and lots of drinks, perhaps enough to upset the Italians and hand them a hangover on Wednesday.
