The 4th leg of the Aegean Regatta from Halki to Rhodes, a distance of 33 nautical miles, was full of emotions and great feelings.
At the start of the day, north-westerly winds reaching 12 knots in places, helped the crews to test their skills and the boats' limits. However, a drop in the wind during the day caused delays in the finish.
In the ORC Performance category, the sailing boat Baximus of Thanasis Baxevanis has a lead for the victory, following the first place in the 4th leg.
In the ORC Sport category, the three boats from Rhodes, Panormitis, Mousmoulo and Kalimera, knowing well the waters close to the island, dominated the 4th leg.
The winners of the Aegean Regatta 2024 will be decided in the final coastal races on Saturday morning.
