THIRD DAY OF THE 29er EUROCUP 2024 REGATTA SLOVENIA IN KOPER
The third day of the 29er EuroCup 2024 regatta started optimistically as competitors left the shore with a nicely developed southerly wind blowing at 15 knots. The race committee managed to initiate the start of the 5th race for both groups, but only the competitors from the red group managed to reach the finish line. The northern wind prevented the green competitors' successful finish the race just before the end of the leeward leg wind dropped completely. Consequently, the green group had to restart the 5th race and compete from the beginning, this time against the north wind. The start was conducted at 10 knots, but even this wind did not last long enough for the competitors to complete the race. They waited on the water until the wind picked up again to 12 knots from the north, allowing the third green group of sailors to finish the 5th race.
Today, the wind persisted in its variability and intermittently blew in gusts, requiring sailors to maintain high levels of concentration and ingenuity. The day was long and challenging, but both groups completed the 5th race, and tomorrow they can compete in the final series.
Currently, the mixed team from Italy, G. Bartolozzi / P. Rizzi, is leading overall, followed by the Czech team Y. Levandovska / V. Cibulka, while the team from Italy, G. Montesano / E. Coslovich, is in 3rd place and also leading in the U17 category.
