2024 Open Skiff Youth World Championships at Circolo Vela Arco - Day 4

by Elena Giolai 1 Aug 23:22 BST 28 July - 2 August 2024

On the penultimate day of the OpenSkiff Championships organised on Garda Trentino by Circolo Vela Arco, the weather conditions dictated the number of races held.

Initially the morning northerly wind continued until after midday and at the same time the south wind arrived very light forcing the Race Committee to postpone the start until the intensity increased. This postponement did not give much time ahead of the expected storm, and so only one race was held, but in fine conditions of 14 knots and more, as on previous days.

In all the categories there were no major surprises and the race for the rainbow titles continued by the leaders in each category, who immediately took the overall lead. Piantoni, the local Circolo vela Arco under-12 athlete, and New Zealander Brazle in the under-15s, did not give up a metre and continued to collect first places, which propelled them decisively towards the titles.

In the under-17s, even if there is no string of race victories, Federico Poli (Italy) maintains his concentration and is still in first with 13 points over Enrico Loi from Italy, who was first today.

Friday sees the conclusion with three more regattas possible.
