Qingdao Conditions
at Yngling Europens Many of the teams in the Yngling fleet
have for some time tried to train especially
for the conditions they are likely to have
at the Olympic regatta in Qingdou. Of course
no man can tell for sure what
the wheather will be like during the games
but light winds, currents and swell is
what many teams predict. A high
cloud cover prevented the land from heating
up enough to create the same
kind of breeze that yesterday.
The wind was seldom over
6 knots and as often in light conditions it was shifty and
puffyf conditions. The most succesful team in the light and tricky
conditions were Renee GROENVELD, Annenieke BES and Merel WITTEVEEN (NED). With 1-4 of todays
races they move into the
top position on the leaderboard.
The American Team of Sally BARKOW move down to
2nd after a disspointing
22 in the 4th race. Blanes (Girona)
