Eurocup 6 – Day 3: No Racing, Just Crabbing
Day 3 of Eurocup 6 in the Netherlands brought no racing, as weather conditions failed to cooperate. Despite the lack of wind, the sailors and teams made the most of their day off the water.
The atmosphere remained lively as competitors spent the day crab fishing and participating in various activities organized within the race village. It turned into a valuable opportunity for teams to relax, bond, and enjoy the community spirit of the event. With refreshed minds and strong camaraderie, the sailors are looking forward to returning to the race course as soon as conditions allow.
Eurocup 7 – Day 2 on Lake Lipno: Sun, Wind & Storms
Meanwhile, at Eurocup 7 on Lake Lipno in the Czech Republic, the second day of racing brought very different conditions compared to Day 1.
The day started under clear skies, with more stable and consistent wind conditions—ideal for tactical racing. However, just after two races were completed, a storm approached and racing had to be suspended. Ultimately, the Race Committee made the decision to cancel the remainder of the day's program for safety.
Despite the shortened schedule, there were some significant shifts on the leaderboard. The top teams are now beginning to emerge as front-runners in the event.
