The competition will be on Lake Garda, near Torbole (Northern Italy), a gorgeous place from the pictures and a well-known mecca for high-level sailing events.
I haven't actually sailed there myself, but I've been there three times as a coach/support guy, and I can say that pictures don't even do justice to the scenery. The first time you arrive at the famous north end of the lake you just don't believe your eyes. It's like a total fantasy landscape.That lake setting is gorgeous!
Yes, Lee is a man of many tricks. How he does it, I don't know. Sailing, racing and doing live video (with his phone, I think) at the same time.Lee Montes is posting a lot of updates and little videos on Facebook. That lake setting is gorgeous!
I also saw this on the notice board regarding parts failures. https://yachtscoring.com/event_documents/14874/6.pdf
The (amended) Notice of Race specifies that the Italians have to bring their own boats; perhaps Laser Performance did not agree to supply more than 72 boats? Whatever, this seems an unusual compromise.
Wonder if there was a big shift at some point?
