News Robot
Although the Race Committee brought forward the time of the first start by two hours to 11.00am, the usual thermal breeze did not materialize before 1.30pm. In light southerly winds of 5-6 knots the Race Committee managed to run two races for the standard fleet but only one for the radials and the 4.7s. The race course was set close to the club-house so the public could really enjoy the racing. In the standard fleet the winner was Alessandro Meraga ITA, followed by Stig Steinfurth DEN and Jordi Capella ESP. For the radials the overall winner was Giovanni Coccoluto ITA, followed by Michelle Broekhuizen NED and Sydney Bussard SUI. Finally, for the 4.7s the overall leader-board looked like Benjamin Vadnai HUN, Mehmet Turkmen TUR and Sebastien Schneiter SUI. Results are posted on the Circolo Velico Lago di Lugano web-site. See you next year!

Lugano Europa Cup – Day 2 (ILCA)

A sunny and warm day awaited the competitors the second regatta day, and, also unfortunately, a complete lack of wind. After a long wait mostly on water, as predicted, late afternoon came a SSW breeze of around 8-10 knots. Conditions were tricky and difficult, but two races could be complete for all fleets. The sun was already setting when the sailors came ashore. In almost all races we have got new winners. For the standards Otso Ahvonen FIN and Alessandro Marenga ITA, already in plain sunset, won a race today. As far as the radials are concerned Giovanni Coccoluto ITA and Michelle Broekhuizen NED got a bullet today, while the winners of the day in the 4.7 fleet were Sebastien Schneiter SUI and Gregorin Zeno ITA. In plain twilight sailors were offered a well deserved pasta party. Overall quite a tiring day. Results will come up later overnight on the event web-site.
