13 / 04 / 2018: In Calella began the EuroLaser Master... but lack of wind prevented regatta

Training and inspection day to premiere tomorrow in the race field

The regatists of the EuroLaser Masters Cup have not been able to complete any of the tests scheduled for the first day of competition due to wind difficulties, but six regatists have been penalized with black flags, as they have been given at the departure of the only test that was tried to cover... for the second Saturday in which there is some concern, in the face of the unfavourable weather predictions.

Standard
At the exit of the Standard, three general calls were made, with the result of six black flags, showing the tension that was breathing between the regatists. After being able to leave, the competition went well until the wind fell by the entrance of a chubucco, which affected the ships when they were in their first fit. Because of the black flags that the six regatists received during the departure, they will not be able to score in the next sleeve.

Radials
As soon as the Radial class, which had its way out, after the Standars, also suffered two general calls, where three black flag vessels were penalized. After being able to make the exit, the fall of the wind, which already affected the Standard in its stern section, took the Radials in the first stretch of girth, 30 seconds after the fleet exceeded the exit line, so the race had to be suspended by the fall of the wind, raising the deferral flag. This released the three black flag ships of this class to quantify this penalty for the next test.
