The first day of WASZP championship racing at Fraglia Vela Malcesine on Lake Garda didn’t disappoint.
After all the hype and anticipation, the 170 strong WASZP fleet finally hit the water for 4x championship races across two courses.
Unbelievably tight racing with only ten points separating the top 13 boats.
Overall leader after 4 races is Enzio Savoini of Italy with 6 points, second Ireland’s Charles Cullen on 7 points and third Sam Street of New Zealand with 8 points.
Best British competitors are Sam Whaley in fifth tied on 9 points with Ross Banham.
