2023 ILCA Master Europeans at Douarnenez, France Day 4

by Agustín Argüelles, EURILCA 15 Sep 2023 17:24 BST 9-15 September 2023

The fourth day of competition at the 2023 ILCA Master European Championships in Douarnenez, France, came to a close today, featuring the addition of two new races to the overall scores. This brings the total number of races to eight, just before the last day of competition.

The afternoon got off to a delayed start, with a 2-hour postponement on shore due to a lack of wind. The first warning signals finally sounded around 16:15, and sailors returned to shore at approximately 18:30.

Today's conditions were characterized by light to medium winds. Similar to the past two days, the initial set of races took place under very light breezes, gradually increasing as the races progressed.
