Snow in the inland has made a great difference, according to
the forecasts. Instead of lighter Southern winds, Bora (NE) reapeared on the
third racing day in the Gulf of Trieste. Both RC have delayed todays racing
until noon. After that there was a fine and stable NE wind (17 to 22 knots),
but quite some degrees C lower than most have expected.
The RC of the Olympic classes managed to finish three races for all. In the 470, the men Olympic crew, Karlo Hmelhak-Mitja Nevecny (1, 1, 4*, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1,1) has a comfortable lead of 16 points to the younger local crew Mitja Mikulin-Sebastian Princic that made a third, fifth and second place today, two points behind them are Sivitz Kosuta-Farneti (ITA).
Vasilij Žbogar, Olympic bronze from Athens, had no problems in his local waters, wining all nine races. Thirteen points behind is Jacopo Ferrari Bravo (ITA), 6 pts ahead of Carlo de Paoli (ITA).
Marusa Krasevac (SLO) had another good day (2, 1, 2) and is 3 points from the second Cecilia Veraar (AUT) in the laser radials W.
There were some more problems on the second racing field for non-olympic classes. It seems that most of the crews of the 420 class haven't rounded the right mark. There is a hearing held after the protest placed by the RC.
The local hero of the laser 4.7, Jakob Bozic (SLO) gained a bigger lead after todays three wins, leading 8 pts to Matej Valic and 13 to Andraz Gulic. Slovenian competitors are on the first six places.
Hungarian Kristof Kaizer won both todays races in laser radial Men. Stil second Vito Batistic (SLO) has just a point lead from Nikola Gerin (ITA).
