Today marked the final day of racing on the waters of Capri for the boats competing for the title of ORC European Champion 2021, and the Race Committee was on the water at 10 this morning to position the course and kick off the closing races of the event.
Yesterday’s two windward/leewards brought the fleet to a total of five races held. Very light and shifty air today meant racing could not get underway until 1 pm, when the first start of the day was given in 6-8 knots of breeze from 260 degrees.
As the wind filled in to 15 knots, two races were held for groups A and C and one for Group B, thus bringing the total races held to seven and six respectively.
