RS Feva World Championships - Italians lead day 1

by William Tucker on 4 Aug 2008
A very interesting day played itself out at the PSP RS Feva Worlds in Gottskar Sunday where three qualifying races were held.

The weather was showery with light winds and this put a premium on consistency and this is of course what we got from the day 1 leaders. 105 boats out on the course split into four flights with two racing each other at any one time on a trapezoid course using outer and inner loops.

Italians Edoardo Semenzatovo and Ludovico Bonsi are the pace setters despite not winning a race yet. They make up though with consistency banging a 3,3,2 day. Brits James Bolingbroke and Gavin are second 1 point adrift with British national champion Tim Gratton and Chris Taylor one further point back despite winning two races.

Richard Harrington and Conor Lydon lead the Irish charge on equal points with Gratton/Taylor and they are in turn just ahead of the current European Champions from Sweden, Sofia Engstrom and Frida Langenius.

Monday marks the last day of qualifying after which the fleet will be split into Gold and Silver Fleets. A lot to play for then in the predicted wet and solid force three.
