Yesterday a light wind of eight knots finally came in around 15:30. After a long wait and great anticipation the young sailors got their chance to start the fight for a place on the podium of the 2018 Optimist World Championship.
Even though the weather was tricky with lots of wind shifts, which created a shuffle in the results of the one and only race of the final series, Marco Gradoni still managed to add his seventh consecutive bullet with another incredible performance.
For the second day of the final series a wind of at least 16 knots is to be expected and the organizers plan to have a third race competition today.
