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.
