Day 2 of racing at the ILCA 6 Youth European Championships has come to a close, find out the results, where to view photos and see where our local sailors are sitting in the rankings.
Today we were at the mercy of Mother Nature as we patiently waited for the wind! The AP flag hoisted, but not quite flying, for 3 hours on shore delaying any boats launching. The competitors took to the water and sailed to the course locations where AP flag was hoisted for a further 90 minutes from the committee boats, while the wind stabilised before racing was able to commence at 4.30pm.
The wait was worth it! The wind filled in and 2 races were run on both Alpha and Bravo courses, keeping the schedule of 2 races per day on track. Having reached 4 races a discard is now in play.
The results are still provisional this evening while the Jury review the protests. As it stands, the boys have a 2 way tie between Healy Ryan of Australia and Dario Burlando of Italy, with a net of 6 points once their discards are taken into account. Hieke Schraffordt takes the lead in the girls fleet with 7.5 points after a discard is accounted for.
