WASZP Games 24 – Wind and waves greet sailors in Sandefjord

Botticini Hits the Lead as Fleet is Finals Bound

Sandefjord, Norway
The second day of the WASZP competition in Sandefjord saw moderate conditions and a reasonable sea state on the outer course. This shift in weather led to a day focused as much on boat handling as strategy, providing a fresh challenge for the 180 WASZP sailors.

Italian sailor Ettore Botticini has demonstrated remarkable consistency throughout the qualifying series, securing the lead as the fleet heads into the Gold & Silver fleet races. Hawaiian Gavin Ball follows closely in second place, despite a black flag in the final race costing him valuable points. Spaniard Alberto Hernandez is tied with Ball and sits just two points ahead of Norwegian Markus Berthet, making for a tight competition.
