The Optimist European Championship continued Wednesday with two more qualifying races for each of the five groups.
Despite the efforts for also finishing the fourth race for both girls’ groups, the remains of the dying wind shifted again, so the RC decided to call it a day.
After four races, Adriano Cardi Quan (ITA)takes a clear lead in the Boys event with 8 points. Second is Weka Bhanubandh (THA) with ten points and in third place Britain’s Santiago Sesto on 17 points.
Sesto improved on his day 1 results with a 1, 3 scoreline.
In the Girls event, Lisa Vucetti (ITA) takes the lead after a flight race win, with 11 points. Second is Rebecca Geiger (ITA) tied with Spain’s Patricia Banez on 15 points.
Not a good day for the Brits, with Ellie Creighton now 95th, Gwen Sargent 98th and Emma Breese 100th.
