26-30 June 2017
A difficult day 2 for competitors on Lake Garda.
Overcast sky and rain precluded the famous Ora wind developing on the lake. After some delay the Race Officer started the two fleets well down lake on the light northerly breeze but after just one round it was abandoned for both classes.
A new start area was established but the light breeze never settled or strengthened and the fleet were eventually all towed back to the harbour.
Another difficult day for the PRO is expected today (Wednesday) with rain and thunder forecast.
