Moths get a touch of the ACs

by Rohen Veal on 28 Jun 2007 Another day without any racing at Lake Garda for the Moth Worlds - this time no wind.

Rohen Veal reported:

With winds getting up to 1 knot and boats speeds approaching 2 knots about one minute before the start, all racing today was abandoned. The IMCA AGM is tomorrow morning at 9:30 and more than likely three races scheduled back to back at 1pm.

The forcast for Thursday is for 18-20 knots and pressure will be on those that have not finished a race yet to keep their boats together in the first race to get some much needed points on the board. The forecast for the rest of the week is for more moderate winds of around 15-18 knots.

With the good news about Alinghi winning today, means that racing will still be going on when we arrive in Valencia for the Bladerider demo on the 2nd July. I just hope the boats will be released from customs by then!
