Today weather cast gave us only wind from 6 to 7.5 knots, so it let the Techno 293 and Race board drive their races, Formula class must wait and keep their fingers crossed for tomorrow. Fortunately, as the day went on, we got two starts also for Kite Race. Overall, today's competition seemed to be a little bit nervous, which resulted us to a proper number of false starts. 2 more days are ahead of us, let`s have fun and hope that there will be enough wind to compete with full-time.
