Tuesday 24th day 5,

No rain today, even some sun, but still a lot of wind, between 22 and 26 knots.

The weather forecast told us more wind later today and perhaps a thunderstorm in the evening.

So the race-officer decided to go out and sail one or two races today.

33 boats came to the start and they started perfectly, but unfortunately the wind was

to strong for some boats so they had to retired, (what a pity!)

Some hoisted there Spinnakers, it was very nice to see but for several boats the wind was to

strong and one lost his Spinnaker, and an other boat lost his mainsail.

Because of some material damage we sailed only one race today.

The weather forecast for tomorrow, promised less wind so we do hope we can sail two or more

nice races.

The winner of race 1: first place for the France boat with sail number 1182,

Nos felicitations.
