We started late in the first one and had to cross behind 60 boats with the usual left side favourite. We recovered well downwind, but we ripped our gennaker. On the second beat Cesare did a great job changing it very quickly and we lost just few lenghts for that. We sailed the last run with our PZR(power zone reacher), but we still gained two positions, until the 11th place.
On the second race we started well in the middle, but after a couple of minutes our speed was a bit poor so we got stucked near Joe Fly , and had to tack away too early. Sometimes it's better to have a leebow on the start than a minute later. In fact it was very difficoult to get free after that situation. We finished 11th.
On the last race we started again in the middle, our speed was ok and we turned 8th. During the two runs we gained a lot and finished 4th. Ashore we found out we were ocs.
Today was a very bad day. Just before the first start the wind dropped, we were in the middle and started very late, then new pressures were coming from the sides and we were stuck with no wind in the back of the fleet. We recovered until something around 40th.
The last start was brilliant, but we were not fast enough to keep going to the left side, and begun to "rebound" between other boats. 21st.
Now the championship is gone for us(4-8-10-11-ocs-38-21). On the next two days we will try to find out what's wrong with the set up of the mast.
