Black (flag) friday | ||||
|
A slight chance of wind encouraged the race officer to send out the fleet in the morning. With the shifting and declining winds, the race committee had to change the course marks several times. At around 12:35 the 5th start for the first race was successful, for most. Several boats were a little too eager to get on the racecourse and were noted as BFD. This score will be transferred to Saturday, as unfortunately the race had to be abandoned, again. Once on shore, the waiting continued until 17:30 when the race officer announced that there will be no more chance for racing today. The good news he gave was that there will be beer and lasagne tonight, the bad news was that the scheduled starting time for the first race for Saturday will be at 07:00 in the morning. Hopes and caffeine intake will be high! |

Another day, another try | ||||
| Nice sunny weather and cool drinks in the restaurant made the waiting more pleasant. The first try to start a race ended very fast with AP over H hosted at the starting vessel after only 20 minutes, some boats had not even left the harbour at that time. At around 5 pm the wind from North looked promising and the fleet went out again for race number one. After two general recalls, a start with black flag was successful. Unfortunately, the wind shifted, and the conditions deteriorated so the race had to be abandoned after the first mark. At the Austrian evening all sailors were compensated for their patience with nice Austrian food, drinks and music. |  |

1st race day of the Europeans had no race | ||||
|
Final registration and measurement were finished in the morning. After the skippers briefing the waiting for wind started. Around 13:30 participants went out to the racecourse, but the unstable conditions did not allow racing. The waiting continued on shore in the afternoon until AP over Alpha was hosted at 18:00 and the participants enjoyed the “Eat Pasta – Sail Fasta” evening. Tobias Störkle, the photographer of the event, showed that also in low wind conditions good pictures can been done. |
