After several days of ideal sailing conditions for training, the weather decided to play games with the 30 competitors, representing an impressive 13 countries, registered to the event. The wind turned to the north on day 1 of the event, but despite the challenging conditions, the 4 scheduled races were completed.
Michail Novikov from Vanuatu has returned to racing and it seems that he will be a strong contender, after finishing 2nd in the first race and winning the other three. The rest of the riders would need to wait till the last day of the competition to challenge him, as the waves that the north wind created, made it impossible for riders and official boats to launch, and to everyone's disappointment, there was no racing on days 2 and 3.
