battle at the top continues to tighten. Tactical decisions and steady
performance remain crucial for those aiming for the podium.

signal planned for 13:00, subject to weather conditions.
To round off the day, sailors and teams gathered once again for a
relaxed Happy Hour at the exclusive Club House, continuing the
tradition of camaraderie and connection that defines this championship.
