RS Aerocup at Malcesine, Lake Garda, Italy - Day 2

by RS Aero International Class Association 25 Sep 2016 12:27 BST 22-25 September 2016

Another awesome day. Wind arrived on time with 10kn from the south at 13:00hrs steadily increasing to 15kn during the afternoon.

Per Christian of Norway continued his domination with a string of firsts showing magical downwind speed through the waves. Peter Barton fought back with some upwind speed to take a string of 2nds.

Ben Rolfe looks safe for the title in the 9s already. In the 5s just 1 point separates Liina Kolk EST and Kate Sargent GBR going into the last day.

Over beer and pasta after the daily prize giving Per Christian was good enough to share the secrets of his downwind technique with the gathered fleet, developed from years sailing Europes and Lasers at top international level....thanks Per Christian!

Thanks to SBGfilms for the awesome photos. A full album can be found at www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.983493361797249&type=1
