All races planned for today have been finished. The course was set up approximately 50 meters away from Sopot’s pier. The weather conditions were very hard . There were many changes and wind was unsteady from 1bft to 3bft with strong squalls up to 4bft . This caused situations where even a distance of 10 meters between yachts result in extreme wind differences. The races required maximum concentration from crews.
