Hurricane 5.9 Europeans at Skinias, Athens, Greece - Day 1

by Yiannos Venieris 1 Aug 2002 12:42 BST

The first day of the Hurricane 5.9 Europeans found all boats in the sea with a southerly breeze of 3-4 bft - excellent weather for the Hurricane. All competitors in tip top shape were eager to race the first two races of the series knowing that the competition would be tough. Andy Webb and Will Sunnucks did their magic securing the first two places followed closely by the class association president Duncan Ward who placed himself nicely by winning the second race. The racing continues tomorrow w ith another two races and it seems that the competition will continue to be as exciting as it was today.
