Sandefjord, Norway – August 9, 2024
Sandefjord, Norway – The penultimate day of the 2024 International WASZP Games brought a dramatic shift in conditions, challenging sailors with everything Mother Nature could throw at the fleet. Torrential rain and winds exceeding 30 knots delayed the start until 4:00 PM, as race officials waited for conditions to moderate. But when the fleet finally launched, summer returned to WASZP Island with 20 knots of breeze and blazing sunshine.
The day opened with two high-stakes races, where survival was as crucial as speed. In a standout performance, Great Britain’s Andy Bridgman secured his first-ever win at an International WASZP Games, followed by a second-place finish, catapulting him from 45th to 21st overall. Bridgman’s success underscores the depth of talent in this fleet, where anyone in the top 40 boats has the potential to claim victory.
